Spring Rain on the Moat

Two swans glide on the still water of a stone-walled moat, beneath a pine tree whose dark branches arch in from the upper right over the scene. Rain falls in fine diagonal lines across the composition, and on the far bank a row of pink and pale purple multistory buildings rises against a grey sky, their forms mirrored in the water alongside the pine's reflection. The palette is dominated by blues and greens in the water and stonework, with the muted pink building façades providing the only warm color accent.
