More about this artwork

Title of Painting: Meine Enten (Elf Enten am Ufer) Artist: Alexander Koester Created: 1909-1913Alexander Koester, known for his keen interest in depicting ducks, presents a vibrant and intimate scene in "Meine Enten (Elf Enten am Ufer)." This artwork, dating from between 1909 and 1913, captures a lively gathering of eleven ducks beside a water body, which is reflected in the title translating to "My Ducks (Eleven Ducks at the Shore)." The ducks, shown in various positions of rest and movement, bring the canvas to life with their diverse plumage in shades of white, brown, and black, highlighted by bold brush strokes.Koester's mastery in using light and color imbues the painting with depth and texture, making the feathers of the ducks seem almost tactile. The water's shimmering surface and the soft, muddy bank, flecked with fallen leaves, create a naturalistic setting that enhances the sense of a serene, fleeting moment captured in time. The background, muted in darker tones, contrasts with the vivid foreground, drawing the viewer’s focus to the ducks.This painting not only exemplifies Koester’s extraordinary ability to animate his subject matter but also reflects his profound connection to nature and his exceptional skill in expressing the simple, everyday beauty through his art.
