The image shows a close-up view of five ducks in flight, arranged dynamically on the left side. The horizon is low in the image with a line of small trees or bushes as a backdrop. The ducks are depicted with precise black lines and shading to convey their texture and movement. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of black and cream. A holiday greeting from Helen and Dick Bishop is inscribed in a small outlined box at the lower left.
