Ducklings in a River Landscape 1874

"Ducklings in a River Landscape" is an oil on canvas painting by Charles François Daubigny, created in 1874. It portrays a serene river scene, with a group of ducklings swimming in the foreground. Daubigny's signature style, known as "plein air" painting, is evident in this artwork. He captured the natural light and atmosphere of the landscape, particularly the soft, diffused light of the evening sky reflected in the water. The painting evokes a sense of peace and tranquility, typical of Daubigny's depictions of the French countryside.
