Print of an image of a family of mallards by Francis Lee Jaques. Seven ducklings huddle around a female duck at the edge of a body of water; a male mallard stands slightly further away. Paper has been mounted to pressboard. This belongs to a group of three illustrations of ducks, each mounted on board. Their date and origin has not been determined.
