Mallard Duck is a 1834 ink by Robert Havell Jr., a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In the painting, four mallard ducks are depicted in a natural setting, surrounded by grasses and water. The ducks are shown in various poses, with one standing upright and the others lying down or partially submerged in the water. The ducks' feathers are rendered in intricate detail, with shades of green, brown, and white. The ducks are set against a backdrop of tall grasses and plants, which are depicted in shades of green and brown. The overall effect is one of serenity and tranquility, with the ducks appearing to be at ease in their natural habitat. The painting is a beautiful example of the artist's skill in capturing the beauty of nature. For more information on the artist's work, look up Havell, Jr., Robert.
