An oil on canvas landscape painting by B. Leigh, depicting two mallard ducks in flight over a tranquil marshland or lake at sunset. The composition is framed by reeds in the foreground and a mixture of autumnal and green foliage on either side, with a softly rendered sky reflected in the water. The brushwork is textured, particularly in the highlights of the clouds and foliage, while the ducks are rendered with greater detail. The work bears the signature B. Leigh in white paint to the lower right corner. It is presented in a decorative, gilt-finished moulded frame with scrolling foliate details at the corners and mid-points.
24 x 20 inches.
