'Ducks by Stream' by English painter Edgar Hunt (1876-1955). Best known for his paintings of chickens but he also painted other birds such as ducks which were very popular during the period. Donkeys, goats and ponies were also in demand and at which he excelled. He was not a public man and rarely exhibited his work. However, he did show eleven animal scenes at the Royal Society of Artists in Birmingham and 'Feathered Friends' was exhibited at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.
