It's not easy to find a good quality depiction of a mallard hen -- most statuettes are of the drake -- perhaps because the markings on the hen are delicate and subtle. The artist has done a wonderful job here, and I'm very happy with it. It occupies an honored place in our home.
This sculpture is creatively constructed and reminds me of the excitement and romance of traveling to exotic places. It makes me smile and think of places where I have traveled.
