Description
By artist Ivett Orel
Queen of the Waters is an original soft pastel artwork portraying a swan moving quietly through dark, textured water. Created in Ivett Orel’s Wexford studio, this piece focuses on the natural elegance of the bird and the subtle details that make wildlife art so captivating.
The swan’s feathers are built up through many layers of soft pastel, allowing the texture, softness and structure of the plumage to emerge gradually. Each stroke contributes to the depth of the piece — from the gentle curves of the neck to the fine tonal shifts across the wings. The surrounding water and reeds add atmosphere and context, giving the artwork a sense of place and calm movement.
A true original
This artwork is a one‑of‑a‑kind piece, created using archival soft pastels on high‑quality paper. It is professionally framed in a custom-made frame with a double mount and glass protection. The neutral framing was chosen to support the cool greys, whites and natural tones of the swan without drawing attention away from the artwork itself.
With a framed size of 64 × 62 cm, Queen of the Waters has a strong presence on the wall while still fitting comfortably into a variety of interior styles — modern, natural, minimalist or traditional.
For collectors and nature lovers
This piece is ideal for anyone who enjoys:
wildlife and bird artwork
detailed traditional drawing

expressive pastel techniques
original, handcrafted art
As a unique original, Queen of the Waters will not be reproduced once sold.
