The image displays a detailed scene viewed at eye level. The horizon line is higher with distant trees creating a boundary. In the distance to the left, there is a small house with a thatched roof emitting smoke. The artwork is done in an etching style with intricate lines defining forms and textures for depth. The palette is monochrome, using shades of black and white to emphasize texture and form. Ducks float on water in the foreground, surrounded by vegetation. A few birds are flying above the water to the right. The image has a classic appearance reminiscent of traditional landscape studies.
