About this work

A painting by William Ranney titled Duck Shooters, dated 1849, shows two hunters in a wooden rowboat moving through a calm marsh at dusk. A white and tan spaniel sits in the bow beside dead ducks, while one man poles the boat and the other lies low with a shotgun aimed ahead. The pink and lavender sky and its reflection on the still water fill much of the composition.
