About the piece

In this 1901 masterpiece, Swedish naturalist painter Bruno Liljefors captures the quiet tension of the wild. A mother duck remains vigilant in the deep green marsh, her brood silhouetted against a shimmering pool that reflects the last warmth of the sun. The work's moody palette and sophisticated use of light make it an evocative piece of heritage art.
