The duck pond

In the summer of 1873, Claude Monet and Renoir both painted. The two artists had previously worked together and would do so repeatedly in the future. Renoir and Monet each finished a landscape over a single summer excursion. To highlight the distinctions between the two artists, their works are frequently compared. One of those three works of art is The Duck Pond. Although the setting depicted in the painting is still unclear, it was most likely located in the area around Argenteuil, where Monet resided.

Impressionist-style artwork The Duck Pond was created in 1873 by renowned French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The Dallas Museum of Art in Dallas, Texas, is where you may find this piece. The picture depicts a large pond with ducks, and a large house with a chimney can be seen in the background. This picture creates a sense of predetermination of events: an autumn breeze blows, leaves fall into a pond, nature is preparing for winter.
