Three Ducks 1938

"Three Ducks" is a 1938 ink and wash painting by Xu Beihong, a prominent Chinese painter. The artwork depicts three ducks in a naturalistic setting with grasses and a fallen log. The ducks are rendered with careful detail and a minimalist, expressive brushstroke, typical of Beihong's style. The painting exemplifies the artist's talent for capturing the essence of nature, drawing on both traditional Chinese painting techniques and Western realism.
