About the Item

Girl standing on a lake with swans photographed by Iris Brosch. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. This mesmerizing image by Iris Brosch exudes an ethereal, almost mythical quality, blending elements of fashion, nature, and classical art to create a dreamlike composition. A woman dressed in a flowing, Grecian-inspired gown stands delicately in the shallow waters of a reflective lake. The soft pink fabric clings to her form, and a deep red sash around her waist adds a touch of contrast and elegance. Her pose is both poised and slightly off-balance, as if she is caught between movement and stillness. The delicate placement of her hands near her face suggests introspection, fragility, or a moment of quiet transformation. The presence of the two swans gliding serenely beside her adds a layer of symbolism. Swans are often associated with grace, purity, and transformation, evoking myths such as Leda and the Swan or the story of the ugly duckling turning into a majestic creature. Their smooth reflections on the water mirror the woman's own presence, reinforcing a sense of harmony between human and nature. The setting—a lush, green lakeside enveloped by deep foliage—further enhances the image’s classical and fairytale-like atmosphere. The crisp blue sky and stillness of the water create a feeling of tranquility, while the woman’s modern footwear, slightly submerged, introduces a surreal contrast between the contemporary and the timeless. Brosch’s work often reinterprets classical themes through a feminist and contemporary lens, and this image is no exception. The composition evokes paintings of goddesses or nymphs, yet the model’s strong, statuesque presence challenges the traditional passive representation of women in such scenes. Instead, she stands as both an observer and an integral part of the landscape, embodying both vulnerability and quiet strength. The German artist, photographer, and director Iris Brosch, is known internationally for restoring dignity and strength to the image of women in fashion photography. Brosch’s unique celebration of sensuality moves in fresh and fascinating directions in her ability to rework timeless classicism with a thoroughly modern twist. The work of Iris Brosch is and isn’t anything we have seen before. It is Raphaelian. It is Modern. It is mystical and ethereal, anchored by the weight of a powerful mind.
