Pintail Drake Circa 1975 by Don Briddell - Sold for $1,912
Occasionally, Don Briddell's original artwork ends up in auction houses across the country. Here is a Pintail Drake that sold in 2003 for $1,912. The original owner, Russel Aitken bought the piece in the 70's for approximately $150 if Don's memory serves him well. Quite a good investment!

I know you mentioned this is a jeiunvle, but even so it seems very small/compact/short-billed much more like the cute little Downy than the larger elegant Hairy. We get them both here, and much as I love the visits from the Hairy, the Downy does steal the show for me.
