歌川広重画 雪中芦に鴨|Mallard Duck and Snow-covered Reeds is a 1832 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Duck, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a duck in mid-flight over snow-covered reeds. The bird’s feathers are bright yellow and black, with a white face and a long neck. The background is a soft blue-gray sky with falling snowflakes and bare branches. The artist used simple, bold colors and clean lines to make the scene feel calm. The duck’s wings are spread wide, almost like it’s gliding. Check out Utagawa Hiroshige for more prints like this.
Utagawa Hiroshige (歌川 広重) or Andō Hiroshige (安藤 広重), born Andō Tokutarō (安藤 徳太郎; 1797 – 12 October 1858), was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition.
