Bemaculated Duck is a 1836 ink by Robert Havell Jr., a Romanticism work, depicting Duck, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a single duck standing on one leg. Its feathers look soft and fluffy. The colors are muted except for a bright orange bill. That orange bill makes the duck pop against the dark background. The artist used fine lines to show every feather. You can see his hand in the tiny details. Look for another print by Havell, Jr., Robert.
The Havell family of Reading, Berkshire, England, included a number of notable engravers, etchers and painters, as well as writers, publishers, educators, and musicians.
