Four personified ducks stand in a row across the center of the canvas, each with its own outfit and accessory. Candy-stripe, gingham, floral and polka-dot garments mix with a floral headscarf, a beret, round sunglasses, a straw sunhat, a pearl necklace and a knotted neck scarf, and every duck wears rain boots in a contrasting pastel shade.

Their rounded, egg-shaped bodies and storybook faces are painted in a naive folk-art manner, with thick palette-knife and brush texture across both figures and background. Soft, even light and a palette of cream, peach, blush pink, sage and mustard keep the mood playful and gentle.
