About this work

This painting shows four dead ducks hanging on a wall. Three are brown and one is black and white. Below them, on a table, is another dead duck. There's also a wicker basket with a white cloth hanging out of it. The background is white. The ducks are the main focus of the painting. They're shown in detail, with their feathers and beaks clearly visible. The basket and cloth add some texture and interest to the scene. The painting is a watercolor, and it's held at the Museum of Ethnography. You might also want to look into the technique of glazing, which is often used in watercolor paintings.
