About the piece

Created in 1829 by Wilhelm von Wright, this study of a Bohemian Waxwing exemplifies the precision of 19th-century scientific illustration. The artist's masterful technique brings to life the bird's silky feathers and vibrant yellow-tipped tail as it perches gracefully with a winter berry against a soft, aged paper background.
