About the piece
Painted in 1884 by Swedish artist Karl Georg Arsenius, this oil study depicts a serene winter moment. The composition highlights the striking contrast of magpie plumage against a vast, textured snowy field, complemented by a rustic wooden fence and the skeletal branches of winter trees, embodying the quiet beauty of late 19th-century Nordic realism.
