This is a classic heroic scene of a man on horseback, gallantly riding into the water to save a swan in distress. He carries a flag in his hand, and is surrounded by a regiment of soldiers. There is a group of onlookers on the shore watching the event unfold, their expressions indicating respect and admiration for the man. The blue of the water and the sky, accented by the reds and whites of the flags and the gold of the sun, bring a sense of brave and energetic emotion to the scene. For the man on horseback, a bright dark blue could be used on the horse and deep red on the cape, while the swan could be shaded in lighter blues and light yellow to make her stand out in the water. The soldiers, who are grouped around him, can be filled with a range of greens, browns and earth tones. The onlookers on the shore could be colored in simple blacks, whites and greys, to focus all the attention on the man and the swan. This coloring page is an excellent representation of heroism, bravery and loyalty.
