This incredible painting is in the William Morris Gallery at Walthamstow. Painted by Frank Brangwyn in 1921, the work appears very modern with its splashes of bright sunlight dappled on the swans' plumage, and the typical movements of the birds is caught perfectly with the broad, powerful wings ready to flap and thrash.
The luminosity on the wings is brought out even more thanks to the golden russet colour of the nasturtium flowers. The shadows of other leaves in the undergrowth are visible, running over the swans' bodies.
