Slobeend zittend op een nest met nauwelijks uitgekomen kuikens, Texel (vogels) 1900 - 1930

This black and white photograph, "Slobeend zittend op een nest met nauwelijks uitgekomen kuikens, Texel (vogels)," by Dutch photographer Richard Tepe, captures a female duck sitting on her nest. The image, likely taken between 1900 and 1930, showcases Tepe's talent for capturing the natural world with a focus on detail and composition. The duck's feathered body is almost entirely obscured by the tall grass, creating a sense of mystery and intimacy. The photograph is housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the artistic merit of Tepe's work.
