DescriptionThree ducks flying over water with some brush in background. In 1942, Benson was persuaded to do a small etching based on his 1935-1936 duck stamp for the art and book department at Abercrombie and Fitch, a New York sporting goods store. He produced an edition of a hundred signed prints. It was his last etching.
