About the piece

Created in 1836 by the renowned Finnish naturalist artist Magnus von Wright, this study of a Common Goldeneye reflects the precision of 19th-century ornithological art. The duck is depicted in profile with striking realism, its dark feathers and namesake yellow eye contrasted against a minimalist, slightly atmospheric background that emphasizes the bird's form.
