A pair of Brahminy ducks, c. 1595; borders added probably 1800s. Creator: Unknown
A pair of Brahminy ducks, c. 1595; borders added probably 1800s. The Brahminy duck, also known as the ruddy shelduck, can be found throughout Southern Europe, North Africa, and Southeast Asia. This painting accurately depicts the orange colouring of Brahminy ducks and the patches of white on their wings. They are also recognizable by their long legs and short bills. The level of detail in realistic paintings of animals like this one suggests that Mughal artists studied live subjects, such as the waterfowl that lived in Mughal palace gardens

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of Brahminy ducks, believed to have been painted around 1595. The addition of borders in the 1800s further enhances the visual appeal of this artwork. Brahminy ducks, also known as ruddy shelducks, are native to Southern Europe, North Africa, and Southeast Asia. This painting beautifully captures their vibrant orange plumage and distinct white patches on their wings. Notably portrayed with long legs and short bills, these ducks exhibit remarkable attention to detail. The level of realism depicted in this artwork suggests that Mughal artists meticulously studied live subjects like waterfowl found within the palace gardens during the 16th century in India. The use of opaque watercolor on paper adds depth and richness to this masterpiece. Preserved by The Cleveland Museum of Art, this heritage art piece is mounted with later pink and blue borders that complement its overall composition. Created by an unknown artist from the Mughal era, it stands as a testament to their artistic prowess. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has expertly captured this stunning image for all art enthusiasts to appreciate.
