Cygnes sur l’eau dormante

Berthe Morisot, 1889, tiré en 1921

This is a drawing of a swan and a duck floating on water. The drawing is rendered in a delicate and minimalistic style, with fine lines creating the outlines of a swan and a duck. The swan is the dominant figure, with its elegant, curved neck being a focal point. The duck is positioned slightly behind or above the swan. The surrounding water is suggested with subtle, sketchy lines. The drawing captures a serene and peaceful moment in nature.
