About the piece

Painted in 1877 by Johanne Mathilde Dietrichson, this heartwarming scene captures a young child sharing a bun with a curious crow. The composition is rich with textural detail, from the soft features of the child to the glossy feathers of the bird and the crisp autumn leaves in the basket, all rendered in a warm, grounded palette.
