"Right and Left" is an oil painting by the American genre artist William Sidney Mount, created in 1850. The painting is notable for its depiction of a moment of suspense and action, diverging from Mount's more common scenes of rural life and social interactions. It portrays two hunters in a marshy landscape, one having just fired his shotgun at a pair of ducks in flight, while the other prepares to take his shot. The title "Right and Left" refers to the possibility of hitting both birds with shots from the right and left barrels of a shotgun, a feat requiring both skill and timing.

The composition captures the dramatic instant after the first shot has been fired, with the ducks' reaction to the danger being a central focus. Mount's attention to detail is evident in the realistic portrayal of the hunters' expressions and the naturalistic setting. The painting is a study in contrasts, juxtaposing the stillness of the hunters against the dynamic movement of the birds, and the anticipation of the hunt with the peacefulness of the surrounding environment.

"Right and Left" reflects Mount's skill in narrative storytelling through art and his ability to convey complex human emotions and interactions. The work is part of Mount's larger body of genre paintings that provide insight into 19th-century American life, particularly in rural New York where he lived and worked. As with many of his paintings, "Right and Left" offers a glimpse into the cultural and social practices of the time, in this case, the tradition of hunting and the relationship between humans and nature.

The painting is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance. "Right and Left" remains an important work in the oeuvre of William Sidney Mount and in the genre of American art, exemplifying the artist's capacity to capture the essence of American life in the mid-19th century.
