1899
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Square Book of Animals: The Beautiful Swan is a 1899 by William Nicholson, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows two swans floating on a pond. The water looks wavy and dark, with ripples around the birds. One swan faces left, its neck curved gracefully, while the other swan sits slightly behind it. The background is mostly black, making the swans stand out in a soft brownish color. The artist used simple shapes and bold lines to keep it clean and clear. The swans’ beaks and feet have a hint of orange, adding a small pop of color. Check out the The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this print in person.
Sir William Newzam Prior Nicholson (5 February 1872 – 16 May 1949) was a British painter of still-life, landscape and portraits.
