The Surprised Ducks is a 1882 by Félix Bracquemond, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
In this painting, a woman stands in a pond, surrounded by tall grasses and trees. She is nude, with her arms crossed over her chest. In the foreground, three ducks look up at her in surprise. The woman's expression is calm, while the ducks seem startled by her presence. The painting's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. The Cleveland Museum of Art is home to many Impressionist and Realist works, including this painting by Félix Bracquemond.
Félix Henri Bracquemond (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1833 – 29 October 1914) was a French painter, etcher, and printmaker.
