Studie van een zwaan met gespreide vleugels 1720 - 1792

This delicate drawing by Dutch artist Aert Schouman is a study of a swan in flight. The artist captures the grace of the bird with a light, fluid touch, emphasizing the form of the swan's body and the spread of its wings. Created between 1720 and 1792, "Studie van een zwaan met gespreide vleugels" is a testament to Schouman's keen observation and mastery of line. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artist's ability to capture the natural world with accuracy and sensitivity.
