About the piece

Painted in 1860 by Ferdinand von Wright, this oil on canvas work is a masterpiece of Nordic naturalist art. It captures the raw drama of the wilderness as a magnificent eagle owl, its feathers rendered with meticulous detail, swoops down to capture a white hare against a backdrop of mist-shrouded pines and rocky terrain.
