A naturalistic study of a duck's head and neck in profile, rendered in soft watercolour with meticulous attention to feather texture and iridescent sheen. The bird's distinctive green crown, yellow-orange bill, and deep burgundy chest create a striking contrast against the pale cream background. Fine detail throughout the plumage captures the subtle colour transitions and metallic quality of the feathers. This elegant ornithological illustration brings warmth and natural beauty to any room, working particularly well in a study, bedroom, or hallway where its refined detail can be appreciated. A original, printed in the UK on heavyweight satin giclée paper and presented in a clean frame, ready to hang.
