About the piece
Painted in 1867, this oil on canvas by renowned Finnish artist Ferdinand von Wright showcases his extraordinary skill as a naturalist. The work depicts a male eider in striking breeding plumage alongside a female, perched upon a coastal rock. The atmospheric background of the Finnish archipelago, rendered in soft, muted tones, provides a serene yet moody setting for the highly detailed subjects.
