Duck Shooting is an 1824 genre painting by the French artist Horace Vernet.[1] It pays homage to the artist's father Carle Vernet who was very influenced by British sporting paintings and prints. It depicts a duck hunt in the marshes. Vernet often made reference to the works of his father and grandfather Joseph Vernet, both noted painters.[2] It was exhibited at the Salon of 1824 in Paris along with its pendant piece The Quarry.[3] Both paintings are now in the Wallace Collection in London.[4]
