Not on viewLabel TextPintails is closely related to Untitled (Two Pintails). The positions fo the ducks are quite similar in the way they are overlapping, and they both are drawn with a different sense of form than that which is typical of Darling's artwork. The treatment of the water and grasses is quite similar to Mallards in Lusianna [sic] Can Brake, which was finished by Meaney. The copper plate for Pintails is extant. Meaney has stated that Darling may have made the pintails.
