An etching in muted tones depicts a flock of ducks over water. Two large ducks with outstretched wings dominate the upper left. Below, more ducks descend in a diagonal line across the center. In the distance, a trailing row of smaller ducks stretches toward the horizon under a hazy sky and low mountains. From the foreground, thin blades of grass rise from the water toward the birds above.
