The White Swan - People Portrait

The White Swan - People Portrait

One off painting by emerging artist Yiyou Zhuang.

Princess Odette is the lead ballerina role of the "Swan Lake". Odette is an enchanted princess under a spell of the evil sorcerer Von Rothbart; she has been transformed into a swan by day and can only regain her human form at night. She has many companions under the same spell, who have made her their queen, hence her title 'The Swan Queen'. She is forced to live by a lake that was magically formed by her grieving mother's tears when Rothbart kidnapped her; Rothbart's reasons for kidnapping Odette and enchanting her are unknown in the ballet. The only way for the spell to be broken is by the power of eternal love between Odette and a young man who will remain faithful to her, for if the vow of eternal love is broken, she will remain a swan forever.

The artist well portraited the movements and expression of the ballerina with natural brushstrokes and perfect color blending.
