The Swan Lady - Fine Art Print

This hand-illustrated and painted artwork by Forivor’s Alice Ruby Ross is a love song to the swan and our human connection to them. Inspired by the poem 'Wild Swans at Coole' by W.B. Yeats, the print evokes the many tales from mythology to folktales that often explore the idea of women and swans turning into one another. Here the woman looks up to the migrating swans above and her dress begins to change into feathers, the moment of transformation is captured.

I have looked upon those brilliant creatures,
And now my heart is sore.
All’s changed since I, hearing at twilight,
The first time on this shore,
The bell-beat of their wings above my head,
Trod with a lighter tread.

Excerpt from  Wild Swans at Coole, by W.B. Yeats
