The painting "The Duck" by Berthe Morisot depicts a simple still life scene. A duck's head lies on a flat surface at the bottom right. The duck has a short beak and its head is shaded with darker areas around the eye. The background shows some sketches of plants or grasses, suggesting a natural setting. The entire scene is rendered in soft, sketchy lines on a light-colored background.
