The image displays a static scene at a water control gate in Wolfisheim, France. In the midground, a single brown and white duck stands on its left leg atop a large, weathered stone masonry block. The stone block exhibits visible discoloration, lichen, and moss growth. Directly behind the duck and the stone block, a black-painted steel structure is present, forming part of a sluice or lock gate mechanism, characterized by vertical supports and a horizontal crossbeam. A vertical chain mechanism is visible, descending from the upper portion of the steel frame. The foreground consists of a body of water partially covered by numerous green lily pads and several yellow water lilies. Significant portions of the water surface, particularly to the right, are obscured by a dense layer of bright green surface vegetation, consistent with algae or duckweed. The water itself appears dark and reflective. The background is densely vegetated with various species of green deciduous trees and shrubs. No human individuals are present.
