Pair of Ducks

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Pair of Ducks by artist A. T. (Bud) MacDonald. Two wooden duck decoys, side by side, facing each other. The duck on the left has a black and orange-brown body with a white beak. The duck on the right has an orange-brown body with a brown beak. Both ducks have long necks and smooth bodies. The ducks are on a gray surface with a dark gray background. The lighting causes shadows under the ducks.
