About the piece
Painted in 1898, this work by Johann Walter-Kurau captures a serene moment on a pond. The artist uses thick, rhythmic brushstrokes to convey the undulating surface of the water and the sophisticated interplay of sunlight and shadow. The group of ducks provides a charming focal point within a moody palette of deep blues, ochres, and mossy greens.
