About the piece

Painted in 1914 by renowned Swedish wildlife artist Bruno Liljefors, this work captures a mother fox and her cubs in a moment of quiet alertness. The impressionistic brushwork brings the textures of the foxes' fur and the rugged Scandinavian landscape to life under a soft, crepuscular sky, making it a sophisticated choice for nature-inspired interiors.
