About the piece

Painted in 1875 by Finnish artist Ferdinand von Wright, this masterful oil work captures a quiet moment in a rural farmstead. The artist's renowned precision is evident in the detailed rendering of the pigs' bristly coats and the iridescent plumage of the magpies gathered around them in the soft, northern light.
