F. VAN SEVERDONCK 1865 Oil Painting Farm Yard Gilt Frame Needs Restoration

Description: 35-366 Today we're offering a fantastic antique oil painting that unfortunately is in need of restoration. The artist is Franz Van Severdonck of Brussels, Belgium born in 1809. He died in 1889 never having traveled and rarely leaving his farm where most of his paintings were created. This painting is of a flock of poultry which includes roosters, hens, chicks, ducks and pigeons. There is a house or barn in the background and a sky filled with billowy clouds. His signature appears in the bottom left corner and the date "1865". This is an oil on board as was most of his work. The back is covered with a piece of cardboard which we have not removed as we didn't want to disturb the antique nails holding it in place. There may be something written or enclosed behind that cardboard, we do not know. The board measures 7" X 9" (approx.). There are several areas of missing paint. The surface is dirty as well. The deeply-carved, wood frame is fantastic but also in need of some TLC - areas where the gold has worn off, scratches, etc. It measures 14" X 17". The frame is signed on the back in pencil, however, we can't make out the signature. * No hassle returns - buyer pays return shipping. Track Page Views WithAuctiva's Counter
