An adult Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata) with predominantly black iridescent plumage, distinct white flank markings, and a pronounced red carunculated face, is depicted resting on dry, light brown gravel in the foreground. Its head is turned to the left, and its pinkish-red beak is visible. The gravel contains small stones and a discarded cigarette butt. A reddish-brown concrete curb separates the gravel from a body of still, green water that occupies the midground. The water reflects bare tree branches and an overcast sky. A circular platform structure, supported by two yellow posts, is partially submerged in the water. In the blurred background, a landscaped area with rocks, minimal green foliage, and several indistinct human figures can be observed. The scene is situated within a public park or similar animal enclosure in the city of Pazardzhik, Bulgaria.
