Original vintage lithograph on paper from the Poster Reserve archive.

Mallards sweep over an open marsh beneath a glowing orange, rose and yellow sunset. Emmett Watson places a prominent drake and hen in the foreground, with smaller birds receding toward the horizon and textured reeds tracing the water below. The combination of wide sky and close waterfowl gives this 22 × 28-inch original vintage lithograph a strong sense of flight. A handsome choice for a hunting lodge, wildlife collection or room with warm wood furnishings.

Borderless lithograph: there is no white paper border on this lithograph. Any thin white strip outside the lithograph in the photographs is photography backing board, which is not included.
