About the piece

Created in 1897 by Theodor Kittelsen, this oil on canvas captures a serene moment in the Nordic wild. A flock of ducks is depicted in graceful flight over a lush, mist-laden field, with the soft hues of a twilight sky reflecting off distant mountain peaks. The work exemplifies Kittelsen's ability to blend naturalist observation with a haunting, atmospheric mood.
