Harlequin Duck is a 1836 ink by Robert Havell Jr., a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting features three ducks in a natural setting, with two perched on a rocky outcropping and one standing on the ground. The ducks are depicted in various poses, showcasing their unique plumage and feathers. The background of the painting is a muted color, which helps to highlight the vibrant colors of the ducks. One interesting aspect of this painting is the level of detail in the feathers and textures of the ducks. The artist has used a range of techniques to capture the subtleties of the birds' plumage, from the softness of their downy feathers to the iridescence of their wing feathers. The artist's attention to detail and use of color create a sense of realism and depth in the painting.
