C.1910 Edwardian Oil Painting – “Drakes and Ducks” by Anthony Skuse – Original Wildlife Art in Period Gilt Frame

This is a beautifully composed original Edwardian oil painting on Academy Board by the listed British artist Anthony Skuse, titled “Drakes and Ducks.”

Rendered with warmth, detail, and confidence, the painting depicts a pair of ducks and their ducklings gliding serenely across still water — a tranquil rural subject in the best tradition of early 20th-century British wildlife painting. The scene is rich in charm and naturalism, embodying the gentle, pastoral aesthetic so sought after in Edwardian decorative art.

The work is housed in a fine period giltwood frame, which enhances the overall impact and presents beautifully in both traditional and contemporary interiors. The painting is signed in the lower right corner with the artist's initials and titled on the reverse in pencil, confirming authorship.
