More about this artwork

This captivating artwork by Samuel Howitt, titled "Duck Shooting," vividly brings to life an 18th-century hunting scene. Full of movement and natural beauty, the painting mesmerizes with its detailed depiction of a tranquil yet dynamic moment.At the forefront, we see a sportsman in a poised stance, aiming his firearm at ducks in flight. His focused posture and traditional hunting attire give a sense of time and tradition, underlining the sporting customs of the era. Two dogs energetically participate in the scene—one leaping into the water after a duck, while the other runs enthusiastically along the lush, tree-lined bank, adding a lively dynamic to the composition.The natural backdrop is exquisitely rendered; dense woodlands and reflective waters create a serene environment that contrasts with the intensity of the hunt. The sky, a soft palette of grays and blues, opens up an atmospheric feel that enhances the overall aesthetic of the moment captured."" is more than just an illustration of a sporting activity; it's a window into the interaction between humans and nature, encapsulating the spirit of an era where such scenes were commonplace leisure activities.
