About the piece
Created in 1867 by Ferdinand von Wright, this oil painting exemplifies the European naturalist tradition. The composition expertly contrasts the iridescent feathers of the bird against the dark, moody background and the tactile surfaces of a well-worn library, offering a classic 'vanitas' meditation on nature and study.
