EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print depicts a serene swan gliding gracefully on a tranquil body of water. The artist, unknown, masterfully captures the essence of this iconic waterbird with remarkable detail and precision. The swan is rendered in red chalk with stumping over touches of graphite on ivory laid paper, skillfully tipped onto cream wove paper. The use of chalk and graphite creates a rich, textured effect that brings the image to life, while the subtle coloration adds depth and dimension. The swan, a symbol of beauty, grace, and elegance, has been a popular subject in art for centuries. This print is a testament to the enduring appeal of this majestic creature, which has captivated artists and audiences alike for generations.

This print is a rare and valuable addition to any art collection, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that continues to inspire and delight us today. It is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is a cherished part of the institution's extensive collection of prints and drawings.
