About the piece
This 1848 oil painting by Ferdinand von Wright captures a mallard duck with remarkable naturalist precision. Set against a warm, misty lakeside background, the bird's plumage is rendered with delicate brushwork that emphasizes texture and form, characteristic of 19th-century Finnish naturalist art.
