Swan is a 1804 by Mary Altha Nims, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a single swan floating on water. The bird’s neck curves gracefully, and its head tilts slightly. The body is mostly white, with a small red-orange beak and black eyes. The water beneath is calm, with faint lines suggesting gentle ripples. The artist used soft, light strokes to keep the swan simple yet elegant. There’s no extra detail—just the bird and its reflection in the water. If you like this style, check out Romanticism for more nature-focused art.
Mary Altha Nims (1817–1907) was an American artist.
