About the artwork
This beautifully hand-painted painting captures a heart-warming moment of a baby cygnet nestled safely in its mother’s protective feathers. Using a stunning photo reference from a local Staffordshire photographer, this piece reflects the natural beauty and tenderness often seen at Chasewater, where swans are a much-loved sight. In many cultures, swans symbolise purity, love, and loyalty. The bond between the mother and cygnet is a timeless representation of parental care, making this painting not just a piece of art, but a tribute to the strength and tenderness of family. This unique painting brings to life the serene elegance of these majestic birds and would make a perfect addition for nature lovers, or anyone drawn to the peaceful symbolism of swans.Tender Grace – A Mother Swan with Her Cygnet
