About the piece

Created in 1901 by Swedish artist Bruno Liljefors, this atmospheric painting depicts ducks in flight over a dark, marshy landscape. The composition uses dramatic chiaroscuro to silhouette the birds against a sliver of golden light, showcasing Liljefors' masterful ability to capture the raw vitality and quiet intensity of the natural world at dusk.
