Richmond Mandarin Duck - Original Embroidery

A figurative hand embroidered artwork from the Royal Park Life collection, inspired by a photograph taken of a mandarin duck in the Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park. A tonal pencil drawing of a mandarin duck is printed onto cotton-satin fabric, into which Susannah has meticulously hand stitched the extraordinary plumage using machine embroidery threads and sequins — capturing the iridescent teals, rich burnt oranges, deep crimsons and golden whisker feathers in remarkable detail. One of the most ornately coloured birds in nature, the mandarin duck makes a stunning and vibrant subject. Unique, framed and available for sale.
