ok, the square seal in the upper left is either the name of the company employing the painter or the gallery/retailer where the painting was sold. the oval seal is another from the same source saying that the gallery/company has authenticated and appreciated the picture. The third is an archaic bronze form dating to the Shang dynasty used as a ritual wine container, it is called a "jue".

this is a recent picture though, these aren't collector's seals but are used to enhance the decorative effect by implying association with traditional Chinese paintings. the style is called "gongbi", basically "fine brush" and is associated with Southern Song dynasty fans and album leaves (which were revived during the Ming). Doves were not a common subject traditionally though, the only pigeon/dove I can think of in this style is attributed to the last Northern Song emperor:
