La Dame aux Cygnes (Woman with Swans) is a 1879 ink by Félix-Hilaire Buhot, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this painting, a woman in a long dark dress stands on the left side, facing right. She has her hair up and is looking out over a body of water with three swans swimming in it. The background is a landscape with trees and a building in the distance. The woman's dark dress contrasts with the lighter colors of the landscape and the swans. The artist has used different techniques to create texture and detail in the painting, such as etching and drypoint. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Félix-Hilaire Buhot, a French artist known for his Impressionist and Realist paintings.
