Swan Across Blue Waters

A brightly patterned swan fills the foreground of this lively folk-art drawing, its curved neck and layered feathers outlined in black and packed with spirals, zigzags, scallops, and sweeping stripes. Behind it, green mountains rise over a rippling blue lake, while tall reeds frame the lower edge. The hand-drawn contours and exuberant surface decoration give the scene a playful, imaginative character reminiscent of a child’s illustrated storybook.
