Wildfowler.

Etching, 1923. 197x3007 3/4x11 3/4 inches, full margins. Edition of 150. Signed in pencil, lower left. A brilliant, richly-inked and luminous impression.

According to Paff, "In Wildfowler, the time is the first light of dawn; the decoys have been set out, the ducks are moving and the hunter checks the pattern of his rig as he prepares to take cover in his blind. We share his anticipation and his joy in the promise of a perfect day of shooting." Paff 220.
