The image shows ducks on a sandy area beside a pond. The horizon is placed towards the upper third of the image, separating the landscape from the cloudy sky. The brushstroke technique used is detailed, with lines defining feathers, grass, and natural scenery. The image is in a monochromatic palette of brown and gray. In the distance, there are bushes, grass tufts, and a body of water. The sky has soft clouds blending into the background.
