Ducks in Autumn Reeds by Alexander Koester — Postcard

A whole flock of mallards and domestic ducks paddles through a slow autumn stream in this Alexander Koester painting, threading between golden reeds and patches of deep blue water. Where his single-duck studies isolate one bird, here Koester builds a busy, sunlit scene with birds swimming, preening, and drifting in every direction.
