the drawing shows a mallard duck flying low to the surface of a body of water. the water is a bluegray color and appears to be partially frozen. there is a suggestion of trees in the background. the duck is rendered in brown, white, black, and yellow hues, and its wings are outstretched as if it is about to land. the style of the drawing is impressionistic, with short, hatched strokes used to create a sense of movement and texture.
