Duck

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of a sculpture of a duck by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. The sculpture is made of rough, textured material and appears to be a light gray color. It is shaped like a duck with a large body and a small head. The head is positioned on the left side of the body, with the bill pointing to the right. The body is rounded and smooth, with a small tail at the back. The wings are raised and folded against the body. The sculpture has a rough, unfinished texture, with visible imperfections and bumps on its surface. The background of the image is plain white.
