The scene depicts a natural, overgrown area within the city of Lisbon, Portugal. Two Mallard ducks are present on a slightly sloped, vegetated ground. In the foreground, a female Mallard, characterized by mottled brown plumage and orange webbed feet, is positioned with its head lowered towards the ground, indicative of foraging. Behind and slightly to the right of the female, a male Mallard stands upright, facing to the left of the frame. This male displays a distinctive iridescent green head, a narrow white neck ring, a chestnut-brown breast, and a grey body, also featuring orange webbed feet. The ground is covered densely with small green groundcover plants, interspersed with areas of exposed soil and some larger green leaves. The background consists of a dense thicket of green foliage and several tree trunks, one of which, on the right side, is partially covered in ivy. Overhead, lighter sky is visible through the tree canopy, suggesting diffused daylight.
