Duck Shooting

Duck Shooting is an 1824 genre painting by the French artist Horace Vernet.^[1] It pays homage to the artist's father Carle Vernet who was very influenced by British sporting paintings and prints. It depicts a duck hunt in the marshes. Vernet often made reference to the works of his father and grandfather Joseph Vernet, both noted painters.^[2] It was exhibited at the Salon of 1824 in Paris along with its pendant piece The Quarry.^[3] Both paintings are now in the Wallace Collection in London.^[4]
