"Two Swans" is an etching by Czech artist Wenceslaus Hollar, created between 1654 and 1658. The piece showcases Hollar's signature detailed and delicate style, depicting two swans in a serene landscape. The swans are rendered with remarkable precision, their feathers meticulously etched, while the background features a subtle depiction of reeds and flying swallows. This work is a prime example of Hollar's mastery in capturing the beauty of nature and the grace of animals. The etching is currently part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
