This beautiful Franklin Mint bisque porcelain sculpture, "Under Her Wing, " was created in 1989 by wildlife artist Ronald Van Ruyckevelt as part of the Franklin Mint Wildlife Sculpture Collection. The mother Trumpeter Swan shelters her two cygnets at her side, with detailed feather texturing, expressive beaks, and soft matte bisque finish.
The swan attaches securely to the original glossy black oval base using two molded pegs. This is one of the more sought-after pieces in the Van Ruyckevelt swan series due to its storytelling composition and large, sculptural presence.
Condition: Swans flawless; base has only light surface scuffs (no scratches felt by touch, no chips, no gloss loss). Authentic vintage collectible with age-appropriate characteristics.All details and minor traits are photographed and described. Colors may vary slightly by screen. All sales are final unless I made an error. I'm happy to send additional photos or angles. This sculpture displays beautifully and makes an elegant centerpiece for collectors of Franklin Mint wildlife, porcelain bird art, or Van Ruyckevelt designs.
I also have additional Franklin Mint swan sculptures listed if you're building a coordinated display or searching for specific pieces from the series. Collectors often seek realistic swan family figurines, bisque wildlife sculptures, and Franklin Mint bird pieces, and this work fits naturally into those collections with its smooth porcelain, sculpted movement, and classic wildlife styling.
