The scene shows two ducks swimming in a body of water under a cloudy sky. The perspective is low, near the edge of the water, showing pebbles and possibly broken bricks at the shoreline. In the distance, there are buildings, presumably a town or city. The water is calm with gentle ripples. One duck appears to be a male mallard, with a green head, while the other is a female mallard with mottled brown plumage.
