An outdoor scene in Zaandijk, Netherlands, depicts two mallard ducks on a grassy surface under natural light. The primary subject, a female mallard, occupies the foreground, positioned centrally and oriented directly towards the viewer. Its plumage is characterized by mottled brown, black, and tan feathers across its body, with a dark grey-brown head and a dark grey bill, slightly soiled at the tip. A prominent iridescent blue speculum, bordered by white, is visible on its right wing. One orange-brown webbed foot is visible, resting on the grass on the lower right. In the blurred background, a second, partially visible mallard duck stands out of focus, appearing to be a male based on its greyish body and visible orange webbed feet. The ground consists of green grass interspersed with some darker patches of soil and scattered natural debris, including green and brown leaf matter. No human subjects or artificial structures are present.
