More about this artwork

Alexander Koester, renowned for his masterful depictions of ducks, showcases his exquisite talent in the captivating painting, "Enten im See." Painted between 1909 and 1913, this work exemplifies Koester’s intense focus on the play of light and shadow, and his affection for the serene existence of these graceful waterfowl.The painting portrays a tranquil scene of numerous ducks peacefully floating on a vast lake. The ducks, rendered in shades of white, are beautifully contrasted against the deep blues and subtle greys of the water, under a softened sky that hints at the gentle closure of a day. The clouds, puffy and light, seemingly echo the gentle calm of the lake below, while hints of a golden sunset breathe a warm life into the otherwise cool palette.Koester’s brushwork brilliantly captures the reflective quality of the water, speckled with sunlight and shadow. Each brush stroke contributes to a dynamic texture that gives a palpable sense of movement to the water. This is not just a static lake scene; it is a living moment in nature, preserved on canvas through expert technique.As viewers, we are drawn into this peaceful assembly of ducks, invited to pause and reflect on the serene beauty of natural life.
