About the piece
Painted in 1867 by Ferdinand von Wright, this oil on canvas captures a group of magpies surrounding a woodgrouse. A leading figure in Finnish naturalist art, Wright is celebrated for his precise anatomical detail and atmospheric lighting, both of which are on full display here in the varied textures of feathers, birch bark, and frost.
