Two Tritons and a Swan

Pierre-Alexandre Aveline after François Boucher

National Gallery of Art

This is an illustration of two mythical creatures interacting with a swan near a waterfall. The scene shows the creatures with serpent tails engaging with the swan, who is perched above them with spread wings. The background includes stylized clouds and flowing water elements. The lines are delicate yet assertive, in the style of rococo illustrations.
