The Wild Duck and the Celestial Bodies is a 1919 tempera by Joseph Alanen, a Art Nouveau work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a duck in the center, with its body facing down and its neck curved up. The duck is brown and has a textured pattern on its body. There are several circles around the duck, some with lines and some with stars. The background is blue with horizontal lines and dots. The painting has a border around it, with a red and gray pattern. The border is made up of geometric shapes and lines. The overall effect of the painting is one of movement and energy, with the duck and the celestial bodies seeming to spin around each other.
