The artwork captures a serene wetland scene at dawn or dusk, with the sun casting a warm, golden light across the landscape. The sky transitions from soft hues of orange and pink to a gentle blue. The calm water reflects the glow and silhouettes of waterfowl, including ducks. Lush vegetation, tall grasses, and reeds add texture. In the background, mist envelops distant trees, enhancing depth. A flock of birds in the sky introduces dynamic movement to the tranquil, realistic yet impressionistic scene.
