Beautiful Antique Oil Painting on Academy Board featuring a pair of swans gliding peacefully through a moonlit lake. 🦢 The brushwork and composition are soft, romantic, and just moody enough — with a dreamy glow on the water that makes it feel like a quiet evening in a storybook.
Painted on academy board from F.W. Devoe & Co., a noted 19th-century New York-based supplier of art materials, this piece likely dates to the late 1800s or early 1900s. The surface has wear and discoloration and age-appropriate character, but remains stunningly intact and highly displayable.
(I had plans to restore and frame this beauty, and still will if she doesn’t sell, and offer a new updated price.)
