A Swan in Palm Beach
This portrait combines the facial features and accessories of Truman Capote’s elegant “swans,” prominent socialites in the 1960s and 70s. The influential jetsetters graced the world’s most glamorous cities with their presence, including “America’s First Resort Destination,” Palm Beach, Florida.
Kyle’s “Swan” is depicted with an enigmatic smirk as she admires illustrious Worth Avenue and its landmark clock tower. Hiding in plain sight on her hat band is a pattern of swans, and the background is inspired by Lilly Pulitzer, who established her brand in Via Mizner.
Note: Gallery-wrapped canvas is only available in the 16x24, 20x30, and 24x36 print sizes. Due to the nature of stretching canvas, the artwork may slightly wrap over the sides.
Unframed paper will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork. Please see the Custom Mat section below for more information.
Framed paper comes with a silver frame. Framed canvas comes with a gold float frame.
Original painting SOLD to private collector.
Custom Mat for Unframed Paper
Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
You can purchase a custom mat from your local frame shop or online. If online, we suggest Matboard & More. Choose Arctic White in Decorative Quality, or if you prefer to upgrade, select White Art in Conservation Quality.
Print Technique & Materials
Prints are reproductions of original paintings using a high-quality inkjet printing technique known as "giclee."
Unframed and framed artwork is printed on archival cotton rag paper, which is acid free and will resist fading and discoloration for generations. Unframed prints on paper are unsigned and feature a 1.5"-2" white border around the image. Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
All framing is custom made to the exact specifications of each image, with an acid-free white mat and acrylic glazing (glass is prone to breaking when shipped). Most prints are non-traditional sizes and will not fit properly in mats or frames purchased off the shelf, therefore custom framing is recommended.
Canvas prints are referred to as "gallery-wrapped" because the color or image wraps around the sides of the canvas and it is stapled on the back. The canvas is wrapped around 1.5" deep wood stretcher bars and arrives ready to hang.
Framed canvas prints feature a "float frame," which has a 0.25" gap between the edge of the canvas and the frame moulding. The frame is 2" deep.
