The image displays a daytime scene at the Round Pond within Kensington Gardens, London, United Kingdom, with Kensington Palace prominently featured in the background. In the immediate foreground, a grey stone coping defines the pond's edge. Two large white swans are central subjects on the water. The swan on the left is positioned near the coping, its body mostly above water, with its head lowered towards its chest, displaying an orange beak with a black knob. To its right, a second white swan is partially submerged, with its head and neck extended downwards into the water, its tail slightly elevated. The pond's surface exhibits ripples and reflections of the sky and background. Across the pond, Kensington Palace, a multi-story brick building with architectural detailing, stands amidst a line of bare deciduous trees. Numerous smaller white birds are scattered across the distant water. Several indistinct figures, consistent with people, are visible on the far bank and near the palace. The sky is clear blue, marked by multiple intersecting white contrails, indicative of air traffic, along with some scattered cirrus clouds. The scene is illuminated by direct sunlight.
