About the piece
Painted in 1869 by renowned Finnish naturalist artist Ferdinand von Wright, this oil on canvas captures a male and female common eider in a moment of rest. Set against a brooding, atmospheric coastal backdrop, the work showcases the artist's masterful precision in rendering plumage and natural textures. It remains a sophisticated example of Victorian-era natural history painting.
