About this work

Andrew Fisher Bunner drew ducks on paper in soft graphite. They stand on a grassy bank, their feathers detailed but not stiff. This isn’t just bird art. Bunner studied under a famous painter named Audubon. His work feels alive because he watched live ducks in the marshes first. Compare his drawings to Audubon’s prints. See them at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
