Document source description
In this scene, Two Swans, Study (1905), a couple wearing medieval dress and holding hands stroll beside a pond in a wooded landscape. The two swans, which gave the original painting its title, are not represented.* Framing the miniature are what appear to be stage curtains in olive hung against a dark blue ground. The remainder of the box has finely executed filigree decoration with shaded enamel in dark blue, light blue, and brown. A similar box is in the collection in the Hillwood Museum and Gardens, Washington, D.C.
