About the piece
Painted in 1901 by the renowned Swedish naturalist Bruno Liljefors, this striking work captures the raw essence of wildlife in its natural habitat. The composition features two gulls set against a dark, moody sea, utilizing vigorous brushwork and a sophisticated play of light on the birds' white plumage to create a sense of movement and drama.
