About the piece

Painted around 1885 by Willem Maris, a leading figure of the Hague School, this work captures a peaceful moment in nature. The artist's loose, atmospheric brushwork brings to life the shimmering water and the soft textures of the ducks nestled in the grass under overhanging foliage.
