DescriptionThis charming painting presents a light-hearted view of wildlife. In its round frame is a flock of ducks in the woods. The emerald-green mallard duck stands protectively about four tawny females. The group's tear-shaped bodies are nestled together beneath a birch tree, its white bark peeling off in sheets. The silent forest is sentimentally portrayed in misted browns and greens.On View
