The scene shows two ducks, a male and a female mallard, resting on a small island of debris and vegetation near the edge of a calm river. The male is in the foreground with its distinctive green head and chestnut breast. The female, more mottled brown, is behind it. The river reflects the trees lining its banks, creating a mirrored effect. Green grass grows along the riverbank in the foreground, and there is a building visible in the distance beyond the trees. The water is somewhat murky, and a discarded plastic bottle can be seen floating amongst the debris near the ducks.
