The sculpture features two finely modeled ducks arranged in an ascending composition, with the upper bird extending its wings dramatically upward while the lower bird rises beneath it. Their animated postures, open beaks, and outstretched wings create a wonderful sense of motion, suggesting the birds taking flight together.
Bentall's meticulous attention to naturalistic detail is evident throughout the composition, particularly in the individually articulated wing feathers, textured plumage, sculptural contours, and carefully modeled heads and bodies.
The bronze displays a rich, dark brown patina with warm bronze highlights, beautifully emphasizing the intricate feather details and dimensional quality of the figures.
The two birds emerge from a naturalistic bronze foundation, mounted upon a handsome shaped and polished wooden base, providing an elegant contrast to the dark patinated sculpture.
The sculpture bears an identifying inscription reading:
