The image depicts a winter scene along a partially frozen river or canal in Hrodna, Belarus. Snow heavily covers the ground, banks, and the surface surrounding open water. A large concentration of mallard ducks, numbering approximately 100 or more, occupies the foreground and midground. Both male drakes, characterized by iridescent green heads, and female hens, with mottled brown plumage, are visible. The ducks are densely gathered on the snow-covered banks at the water's edge and within the unfrozen sections of the dark water, which contains several ice floes. In the background, an arched bridge spans the waterway. To the left of the arched bridge, a pedestrian bridge with dark metal railings ascends a snow-covered embankment. On the right, an elevated, snow-covered embankment is bordered by a decorative dark metal railing with columnar posts and streetlights. A lone individual, dressed in a blue jacket, stands on this elevated embankment near the railing, looking towards the water. Bare deciduous trees with slender branches are visible against a clear, light blue sky.
