Eenden c. 1856 - 1870

"Eenden" (Ducks) is a pencil sketch created by Dutch artist Maria Vos between 1856 and 1870. This quick study, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, captures the grace and movement of ducks in a variety of poses. Vos's loose, expressive lines suggest the fluidity of water and the birds' feathered bodies, making this a fascinating glimpse into her artistic process and her interest in natural observation.
