Duck Farm
1952–1953

Impressionist-style painting depicting a bustling flock of white ducks in the foreground with hints of orange and brown earth tones. In the background, a hazy cityscape with minarets and domes emerges, suggesting an exotic, possibly Middle Eastern location. The sky is rendered in soft blues and whites, contributing to the dreamy atmosphere of the scene.
