Ducks at play

Félix Bracquemond

Cleveland Museum of Art

A black and white illustration of a pond scene with ducks. A mother duck and her ducklings are swimming in the foreground. The mother duck is positioned on the right side, facing right. The ducklings are clustered together on the left side of the mother duck. In the background, there are more ducks on the water and one standing on the shore. There are lily pads on the pond's surface. Reeds and tall grasses line the pond's edge. The illustration is done in a detailed, realistic style with heavy lines and shading. The image is sepia-toned.
