Ducks

Two mallard ducks float on a pale blue-gray pond rendered in fine rippling linework; the near duck faces left with an iridescent dark green-black head, yellow bill, white neck ring, and chestnut breast, its brown, tan, and white wings folded along its back, while the second duck is shown from behind, head submerged, only its mottled brown-and-cream back and dark wing markings visible above the water. A single white water lily with a yellow center and a dark green lily pad float in the lower right corner. Inscribed in the upper right with a date and the artist's signature and seal; per the record, "Ducks" by Hashiguchi Goyō, mokuhanga, year unknown.
