About the piece

Created in 1828 by renowned Finnish naturalist artist Magnus von Wright, this study of a Common Eider showcases the artist's scientific precision and artistic grace. Part of a larger tradition of Nordic ornithological illustration, the work highlights the delicate patterns of the bird's feathers against a minimal, scholarly background.
