About the piece

Painted in 1913 by the renowned Swedish wildlife artist Bruno Liljefors, this oil painting showcases his mastery of animal behavior and natural light. The work depicts a fox poised in a field of sun-baked reeds, its gaze fixed on a mallard duck as it ascends from the water. Liljefors' impressionistic style brings life to the textures of fur, feathers, and dry autumn foliage.
