Grace on the Water: The Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) in Repose, 1929

About the Item

This print from the "Svenska Fåglar Efter Naturen Och På Sten Ritade" series depicts the mute swan, Cygnus olor, known as 'Knolsvan' in Swedish. The swan is portrayed with an air of serene elegance, floating effortlessly on calm waters. The artist has captured the swan's pristine white plumage with a high degree of realism, each feather meticulously outlined and shaded to convey volume and texture. The swan's elongated neck curves gracefully, with the head poised nobly, befitting its regal status in avian hierarchy. The orange bill with its distinctive basal knob contrasts beautifully with the bird's creamy feathers, and the black eye with a line extending to the bill adds a characteristic touch to the swan's facial features. Reflections on the water are rendered with gentle, rippling strokes, suggesting the swan's gentle movement. In the background, the faint outline of a natural landscape can be seen, providing a context for the swan's habitat without distracting from the bird itself. Overall, the print embodies a tranquil moment in nature, showcasing the mute swan's majestic and graceful demeanor—a hallmark of avian beauty in Scandinavian wildlife art. The condition of the print appears to be excellent, with no signs of fading or damage, preserving the delicate beauty of the artwork for posterity. This is an original and NOT a reproduction!
