A circular drawing depicts a central white swan floating on a flat gray surface of water. Facing left, the swan curves its neck into an S-shape with partially raised wings. It features a bright red beak with black markings and a small eye. Below the bird, a soft reflection mirrors its form in the water. Outside the circle in the lower left corner, the word "Swan" is written in cursive script.
