About the piece

Created in 1833 by the renowned naturalist artist Wilhelm von Wright, this exquisite study captures a young horned grebe in profile. Standing upon a weathered rock by a serene shoreline, the bird is depicted with delicate brushwork that emphasizes the texture of its plumage and the distinctive form of its lobed feet, characteristic of the artist's refined scientific style.
