wild ducks and geese pecking at food with a leisurely air.
鳧：a kind of wild duck. 雁: wild geese.
嚵: n: the beak/ mouth of birds/animals.
唼: verb: 1. fish/birds seeking food in the water. 2. eat
Ex: 食。楚辭˙宋玉˙九辯：「鳧鴈皆唼夫梁藻兮，鳳愈飄翔而高舉。」
--> Here I choose the 2nd meaning.
容與: 1. walking back and forth, move around. 2. leisurely and self-pleased.--> I think the second meaning is more applicable for this phrase.
Trans: wild ducks and geese pecking at food with a leisurely air.
Besides, I think this phrase is describing an artist who was from the Ming Dynasty not the Qing Dynasty.
