Description: | Different types of bird are seen in their natural habitat: a white duck and two ducks are depicted on a calm stream close to the picture plane. A rock serves as a backdrop. A kingfisher sits on a cut tree-stump on the far right. A flying mallard is depicted against the dark, cloudy sky.The painting is reminiscent of the work of Melchior de Hondecoeter, the finest painter of birds and fowl of his time. | Subjects: | landscape; animal (ducks) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Hondecoeter, Melchior de (Dutch animal painter, 1636-1695) Æ Attributed to manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8579... | Go to resource |
