Swan

Cleo Lovett

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a Parian swan ornament from the early 19th century on a rectangular base. The color palette includes soft tan and light beige tones for the swan and base, set against a muted background with hints of teal. The swan is centrally placed, with its neck curving to the right, while the base aligns horizontally. Text above the swan describes the object in slightly darker brown lettering against a light background.
