The composition is compact, focusing entirely on the subjects with an almost abstract interpretation of their forms. De Graag's use of negative space enhances the visual impact, making the duo of ducks not only the center of attention but also a symbol of peaceful coexistence.Julie de Graag's "Twee eenden" is more than just a depiction of wildlife; it is a serene meditation on form, harmony, and the elegance of nature distilled into a moment of undisturbed repose.
