Vijver met twee zwanen 1906 - 1909

"Vijver met twee zwanen" (Pond with Two Swans), a 1906-1909 pencil drawing by Dutch artist Simon Moulijn (1866-1948), depicts a serene landscape scene. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Moulijn's mastery of detail as he renders the natural world with precision, capturing the tranquil ambiance of a pond nestled within a lush forest. The composition features two prominent trees flanking the pond, their branches reaching towards the sky, while a pair of swans gracefully glides across the water's surface, adding a touch of life to the peaceful setting. Moulijn's use of subtle shading creates a sense of depth and realism, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow in the natural environment.
