This print shows two swans floating on calm water. The lines are soft and wavy, almost like scribbles. The whole scene is light green on a pale background. The swans look simple but smooth, with no harsh edges. The artist used a method where ink was pressed into paper to create this look. Want to see more like this? Check out Impressionism.
