Antique oil on canvas - feeding the animals

A woman in a white apron scatters feed for a flock of hens in front of an old farmhouse. The house has a red tiled roof, tall chimneys and ivy climbing up its walls. A wooden fence and gate lead back toward a cluster of barns, and golden clouds drift across a blue sky above. The painting sits in a wide gilt frame with a deep stepped profile, and a pale gold inner edge slopes down to the canvas.

The canvas has a warm, gently darkened tone. The frame has a couple of small chips near the corners where the white base layer shows through, honest knocks it picked up somewhere along the way. Its simple country feel would suit a farmhouse kitchen or a breakfast nook. It would look just as lovely hung above a pine dresser or a sideboard.
