The scene features two ducks, one on the grassy bank of a pond and the other swimming in the water. A willow tree's branches hang over the edge of the scene, partially framing the ducks. The duck on the bank is resting, while the duck in the water is diving, with only its rear visible above the surface. Ripples are visible in the water where the duck is diving. The grass on the bank is green and well-maintained. The water is gray-blue and calm. The overall light is soft and diffused.
