The image shows a woodblock print titled 'Tokyo Views: Ducks' by Tsuchiya Kōitsu. The print features two ducks in flight against a night sky. The ducks are positioned centrally, with the top one flying slightly behind and above the other. The top duck has brown and light brown feathers with a yellow beak. The bottom duck has a dark head with a green sheen, a yellow beak, and white and brown body feathers. The background is a gray-blue night sky with a large, off-white moon in the top left. The foreground shows black grasses and plants at the bottom. The print has a beige border around the image with Japanese writing on the right and left sides. A red seal is visible on the right side. The image presents a serene and natural scene.
