Summary

A couple of wild ducks, male and female, are on the shore of a mass of water. The male specimen is in the foreground, standing and looking to the right. His colourful head presents diverse shades of green and blue and stands out against the water. The female duck is behind him. Her body is facing to the left but she turns her head and hides her beak under one of her wings. There is some vegetation in the background. This print has been mounted on a board that was probably bigger as it seems it has been cut. The paper seems to have been cut as well.
