The image depicts a pixel art rendering of a single mallard duck in profile, facing left. The duck is standing with its body horizontal and its head slightly raised. Its posture suggests it is stationary, perhaps observing something or simply resting. Its eyes are small and dark, giving it a neutral expression. The duck is positioned centrally within the frame, with ample black space surrounding it, making it the sole focal point. There is no discernible background or environmental detail; the subject is presented against a solid black void. The color palette is relatively naturalistic, featuring shades of brown, grey, white, green, and orange. Dominant colors include the rich reddish-brown of the chest, the muted grey and white of the back and wings, the iridescent green of the head, and the bright orange of the beak and feet. The overall color scheme is somewhat muted but punctuated by the vibrant greens and oranges, creating a sense of realism within the pixel art style. The overall vibe of the image is simple and perhaps a little nostalgic, reminiscent of classic video game sprites or early digital art. The isolated subject against the black background gives it a slightly iconic or illustrative quality. There are no additional details, text, or UI elements present. The image is a straightforward, focused portrait of a mallard duck in pixelated form.
