Golden Eagle Art Gallery is pleased to offer an extensive collection of world-renowned artworks by Canadian wildlife artist, Robert Bateman.  World-travelled and well versed, Bateman always tells a great story about each of his creations. Here is what he has to say about this piece:

"The Mandarin duck comes from the Orient and is attired in glorious plumage reminiscent of the elaborate silk costumes of traditional Chinese officials. In this painting I included the weeping willow which is also native to China and graces traditional Oriental art. I like the horizontal format with the counterpoint of twisted branches and delicate twigs."
