"Mies ja Joutsen" (Man and Swan) is a 1918 painting by Finnish artist Magnus Enckell. It depicts a man standing in a body of water, facing away from the viewer, with a swan in the foreground. The man's nude figure is painted in vibrant colours, with strong outlines, using thick brushstrokes that give the painting a sense of movement and energy. This painting reflects the style of early 20th-century Finnish art, characterized by expressive colours and bold brushwork. The work is known for its powerful depiction of the human form and its use of light and colour.
