The image displays a scene at the Zaanse Schans in Zaandijk, Netherlands, featuring numerous mallard ducks on a grassy slope under an overcast sky. In the immediate foreground, a mallard duck with mottled brown and black plumage, a dark head, pale yellow-orange beak, and orange webbed feet stands facing right. Directly behind it, another mallard duck with similar markings is partially visible. The midground contains a scattered flock of approximately ten to fifteen additional mallard ducks, presenting a mix of brown, grey, and darker green head plumage, standing or resting on the bright green grass. A small area of disturbed dark earth is present in the mid-right. In the background on the left, a black lamppost and a traditional Dutch windmill with a white base and dark cap are visible, with several indistinct human figures walking in their vicinity. To the right background, multiple dark-colored traditional Dutch houses with prominent steeply pitched orange-red tiled roofs and white window frames are situated on the rising terrain. The sky is overcast with a uniform light grey cloud cover.
