National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a white swan standing on a base adorned with small blue and green details. The swan has a smooth, glossy texture. Surrounding it is a gold-colored structure with intricate designs forming candle holders. The gold material resembles curling leaves and stems. The sculpture stands upright, with the swan looking forward, and the golden branches extending outward and upward from the base.
