Wan Weisheng (Chinese, B. 1932) "Swan Swimming in Pond" Signed lower right. Original Tempera painting on Watercolor Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the China 8f Whooper Swan stamp issue of November 18, 1983. The grace and beauty of the Mute Swan has enchanted man for centuries. Gliding cross crystal waters with its long neck held in a graceful curve, this elegeant swan arches its ivory wings over its back like a feathered sail. As this ornamental swan swims through the water, it will from time to time plunge its head and neck below the surface, nibble on tender aquatic plants, and then suddenly raise up, tossing back a shower of crystal droplets onto its snow-white plumage. Captivated by this bird's magnificent beauty, the Chinese partially domesticated the Mute Swan to decorate the parks and estates of China. Truly the picture of beauty and elegance, this majestic Swan glides across the waterways of China in noble silence. These beautiful birds are often seen swimming in pairs for they select a mate for life. The male is fiercely protective of his mate and the nesting site they have chosen. When threatened, the male Swan will take an aggressive posture by bowing and arching his shimmering plumes over his back, and softly hiss a warning. Both the male and the female share the incubating duties, each taking turns so the other may feed. After hatching, the light-gray baby swans or cygnets, often ride on their parents' downy backs, cradled in their arched wings. Indeed, the mute Swan in a symbol of striking beauty as it swims gracefully through the tranquil ponds of China. Image Size: 14.5 x 17 in. Overall Size: 15.25 x 17.75 in. Unframed. (B08239)
