Limited Edition Fine Art Print by Yellow Duck– Dutch Blue Scene with a Duck riding a bicycle
From the 2025 exhibition in Salon de Kunst.

This playful drawing invites you into a gentle, slightly surreal moment alongside an Amsterdam canal. Colorful and quirky imagination contrast nicely with the Dutch architectural grandeur. At the center is a yellow duck, confidently cycling along the water’s edge, he child tucked safely in the front basket. Both wear a South Korean Jobawi hat, an unexpected but charming detail that sets the tone: curious, multicultural, and joyfully open to the world.

The cityscape behind them is unmistakably Amsterdam. Elegant canal houses line the water, rendered in fine pen lines that echo traditional architectural drawings. The blue-toned background feels calm and reflective, almost like Delftware, while the warm yellow of the duck brings the scene to life. This contrast gives the work its visual rhythm: serene surroundings paired with a lively, humorous subject.

Created as a pen drawing finished with watercolor pencil, the piece rewards closer inspection. Delicate textures in the brickwork, bicycles, and tree branches reveal the artist’s patience and craftsmanship. Subtle color accents in the embroidered vest and the jobawi hat add depth without overpowering the drawing’s airy feel. The result is balanced and thoughtful, yet never stiff.

Beyond its technical qualities, this work tells a quiet story about exploration. A familiar Dutch scene is reimagined through a multicultural lens, where a South Korean cultural reference naturally finds its place in Amsterdam. It suggests movement, openness, and the simple joy of discovering new perspectives—whether across the world or just across a canal.

Measuring 35 × 50 cm, this artwork is large enough to make a statement, yet intimate enough to feel personal. It will be a beautiful eyecatcher in any living room or studio, livening up the space with subtle humor. A piece that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but still has something meaningful to say.
