"Mallard Rising" is a watercolor painting by Joseph Crawhall (1861–1913), a British artist known for his distinct style and contribution to the Glasgow Boys group of painters. The artwork, which depicts a mallard duck taking flight from a body of water, is a testament to Crawhall's fascination with birds and his exceptional ability to capture them in motion with a sense of immediacy and vitality.

Created during the late 19th or early 20th century, "Mallard Rising" showcases Crawhall's mastery of the watercolor medium, his delicate handling of color, and his keen observation of nature. The painting is characterized by its loose, spontaneous brushwork and the artist's use of blank paper to suggest light and movement, a technique that became a hallmark of his work. The composition focuses on the moment of action, with the bird's wings outstretched and water droplets visible, conveying both the energy of the takeoff and the tranquility of the setting.

Joseph Crawhall's contribution to British art, particularly through his involvement with the Glasgow Boys, was significant in the development of modern painting in the UK, as the group sought to challenge the academic painting styles of the time with their fresh approach to naturalism and plein air painting. "Mallard Rising" is an example of Crawhall's individual contribution to this movement, demonstrating his personal style that combines elements of Japonism with a European sensibility.

The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and is often cited as an example of Crawhall's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects with minimal yet precise strokes. "Mallard Rising" remains an important work within Joseph Crawhall's oeuvre and continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts and scholars for its beauty and technical prowess.
