National Gallery of Art

The image features four birds within an oval frame. Two ducks are on the ground near water, while two smaller birds are perched on branches above them. The color palette includes earthy tones, greens, reds, blues, and hints of gold. The ducks are positioned apart, with one on the left and the other on the right. Above them, a branch extends supporting the smaller birds, one with a long red tongue to the left and another with orange-toned feathers to the right. The background within the oval is clear.
