Hanging Ducks is a 1890 oil by Józef Chełmoński, depicting Duck, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts two ducks hanging upside down, their bodies facing away from each other. The ducks are rendered in dark colors, with the one on the left appearing more yellowish and the one on the right more black. The background of the painting is a warm, reddish-brown color. The ducks are the main focus of the painting, and their hanging position creates a sense of stillness and calm. The use of dark colors adds a somber tone to the painting, while the warm background provides a sense of contrast. The painting is held at the National Museum in Kraków.
Józef Marian Chełmoński (7 November 1849 – 6 April 1914) was a Polish painter, known for his realistic paintings of landscapes, rural scenes and genre scenes presenting historical and social contexts of the late Romantic period in partitioned Poland.
