Picturesque village: summer day with ducks.

(Born 1940 in Munich. Currently residing there) On a splendidly cheerful summer day, a large flock of ducks has gathered with their young ones on the bank of a pond, which is lushly adorned with reeds and numerous wildflowers. In the background, the view opens up to a picturesque Bavarian village under a beautifully cloudy, radiant blue sky. This characteristic, meticulously painted animal piece by Kaplan, who was trained at the Munich Academy and works as an animal and landscape painter, captivates with its painterly style, which seamlessly connects to the older Munich School of the 19th century and the time around 1900. Oil on canvas; signed and numbered on the reverse with the work number "A 6545135 U"; 50 cm x 70 cm. Framed.
