About the piece

Painted in 1917 by renowned Swedish wildlife artist Bruno Liljefors, this oil painting depicts a mother duck leading her brood through a marshy reed bed. Liljefors' signature touch and deep understanding of animal movement bring a sense of quiet life to this natural scene, rendered with a rich, textural palette.
