The story of Right and Left
Right and Left is a 1909 oil painting by Winslow Homer showing a pair of common goldeneye ducks at the moment they are hit by a hunter's shotgun blast as they try to take flight. Completed less than two years before his death, it was Homer's last great painting. It revisits the sporting and hunting themes of his earlier career, and its design recalls Japanese art and a coloured engraving by John James Audubon. Homer painted it after a mild stroke in 1908, probably the 'most surprising picture' he mentioned to his brother Charles that December.
