About the piece
Dating from circa 1700, this oil painting captures the quiet dignity of a mallard duck floating upon still waters. To the left, a blackbird and a sparrow watch from a weathered branch, creating a layered composition typical of early British animal studies. The warm earth tones and soft, atmospheric sky make it a timeless addition to traditional interiors, particularly suited for a study or library.
