Ronald Van Ruyckevelt 'Silent Swan' By Franklin Mint

This exquisite piece, titled "The Silent Swan," is a limited edition bisque porcelain sculpture by the renowned artist Ronald Van Ruyckevelt. Created in 1983 and issued exclusively to members of The Franklin Mint Collectors Society, it stands as a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the elegance and poise of mute swans commonly seen on England's Thames River.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the sculpture showcases a swan in immaculate white plumage, its long, graceful neck a highlight of its design. Each feather and curve is rendered with precision, reflecting the natural beauty of these majestic birds. The sculpture is hand-painted, adding depth and realism to the piece, and is personally hand-signed by Van Ruyckevelt, attesting to its authenticity and uniqueness.

The sculpture sits proudly on an original black lacquered pegged stand, enhancing its visual appeal.
