The artist had said "this duck, half domestic, half wild, came for several seasons from the creeks and nested in the garden of the Karpenkos on Union Street in Nantucket, her eggs never hatched hence the title of the print"

Elizabeth Saltonstall (1900-1990) Was a prominent artist who excelled in printmaking, and an art teacher for nearly four decades. She attended the Winsor School, the art school of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where she studied fine and graphic arts with a focus on the natural world for inspiration. She became a major supporter of the Boston Society of Independent Artists, and studied briefly in Paris. Although she painted in oils, acrylics, and watercolors, stone lithography became her principle medium.She was one of the first artists to join the Nantucket Artist Association”and so found” the Artists Association with good friend and fellow printmaker Ruth Haviland Sutton.
Now recognized as a master of stone lithography, an exacting medium that suited her exquisite drawings of the natural world, her lithography stones were printed by master printmaker George C. Miller. She exhibited at the Audubon Society of Students, Brooklyn Museum, Carnegie Institute International, National Academy of Design, and National Association of Women Artists. On Nantucket she exhibited at the Easy Street Gallery, the Candle House, the James Hunt Barker Galleries, the Main Street Gallery, and the Kenneth Taylor Galleries.
AAN held a memorial exhibition of Elizabeth Saltonstall's work in 1990.Condition
