About the piece
Painted in 1895 by the master of Swedish wildlife art, Bruno Liljefors, this piece captures the dramatic lekking ritual of the capercaillie. Set against a moody, twilight forest of pines, the work showcases Liljefors' exceptional ability to blend naturalist precision with a deep sense of atmosphere. The interplay of dark values and subtle light on the plumage makes this a striking example of late 19th-century Nordic painting, perfect for adding weight and history to a space.
