Description

An excellent original oil on canvas by noted Ukrainian painter Andriy Viktorovich Yalanskyi (born 1959), depicting ducks “качки” within a sunlit rural yard scene. Richly textured and confidently executed, the painting displays the artist’s characteristic impressionistic brushwork and sophisticated handling of light and atmosphere. The intimate cabinet-scale composition possesses exceptional decorative charm and is presented in its original Hanover Fine Arts gallery frame from Edinburgh. A highly appealing example of contemporary Ukrainian realist-impressionist painting with strong provenance and excellent collector appeal. Ready to hang.
