"Eendenjacht" (Duck Hunt) is a 1784 etching by Dutch artist Hendrik Meijer. It depicts a scene of duck hunting in the Netherlands. The artwork shows two hunters in the foreground, crouched and preparing to shoot at ducks in the water. A church spire, a sailing boat, and a watermill are in the distance, conveying a sense of rural Dutch life. Meijer was known for his detailed landscapes and depictions of everyday activities, which likely contributed to the popularity of this print.
