About the piece

Created in 1913, this oil on canvas work by Bruno Liljefors captures the primal beauty of the Swedish wilderness. The composition focuses on a male Western Capercaillie (auerhaan) in the midst of a lekking display, characterized by its fanned tail and proud posture, set against a moody and textured forest backdrop.
