About the piece
Painted by Robert Wilkinson Padley in 1817, this oil study depicts a female goosander, historically known as a 'dun diver,' gracefully navigating a pond. The work reflects the British tradition of naturalist painting, pairing careful observation of the bird's plumage and form with an atmospheric landscape of swaying reeds and dramatic, soft clouds.
