About the piece
Painted around 1675 by the renowned Swedish artist David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl, this work captures a group of black grouse in their natural habitat. Set against a glowing sunset sky, the birds are shown in various states of activity—some soaring through the air while others lek on the ground amidst a rugged terrain of pines and birches. This piece exemplifies the naturalist interests of the Baroque era, blending scientific observation with a grand, atmospheric style that evokes the quiet majesty of the Nordic wilderness.
