About the piece
Painted in 1851 by Wilhelm von Wright, this oil on canvas is a classic example of trompe-l'oeil still life. The composition features two mallard ducks hanging against a neutral wall, flanked by a wooden cutting board, a large spoon, and a knife. On the table below, carrots and a small bowl ground the scene, showcasing the artist's incredible attention to texture, from the iridescent green of the duck's head to the fine grain of the wood.
