Two ducks are portrayed in a natural setting. The painting features two ducks on a rocky surface near a small body of water, surrounded by tall grasses. The left duck has colorful plumage with blues, greens, and browns, while the right duck has a more muted color palette of browns and greys. Both ducks have their necks outstretched and their beaks open. The environment is lush with green reeds. The style is reminiscent of John James Audubon.
