(image) Handsigned by the artist in pencil Certificate of authenticity Arches Paper In a ballet of flowing white curves, the swan appears, suggesting a flight that is both light and majestic. The presence of a black bird in the background, like a shadow, adds a rich symbolic dimension, interweaving the themes of love and metamorphosis. The contrast between the white plumage and black flesh of the swan evokes the duality of beauty and emotional depth, while highlighting the inherent poetry of nature.
