Alexander Koester: White Duck Impressionist Fine Art Print (c. 1900)

Bring the tranquil, shimmering light of a Bavarian pond into your home with this exquisite Alexander Koester White Duck reproduction. An icon of German animal painting, this print captures the artist's masterful Impressionist technique, earning him the moniker "Duck-Koester."

Alexander Koester (1864–1932) dedicated decades of his career to painting ducks in various states of activity on the water, a specialty that brought him international fame. This work, dating from around 1900, showcases his unique approach, which scholars describe as "conservative in his approach to form, Impressionist in his approach to light." Koester’s true genius lies in his virtuosic handling of the water's surface and the duck's plumage. Notice the free, confident brushstrokes that convey the shimmer of reflected sunlight (known as reflets in Impressionism) and the palpable texture of the white feathers, often highlighted with subtle lavender and yellow tones against the deep greens of the background. This vintage animal art print is an elegant celebration of German Realism fused with the sensory delight of Impressionism, perfect for a kitchen, sunroom, or collector of early 20th-century European art.
