About the Item

The image showcases an illustration of the Eurasian Whimbrel (Numenius phaeopus), a bird known for its long, curved beak and mottled brown plumage, which allows it to blend into its marshy and coastal environments. This specific print is part of a series from "Svenska Foglar Efter Naturen Och Pa Stenritade" by the renowned Magnus von Wright. Magnus von Wright was a distinguished painter and educator of Swedish-Finnish origin. Throughout his lifetime, he made a significant impact on natural history art in Scandinavia. Not only did he specialize in ornithological illustrations, showcasing birds in their natural habitats, but he was also an accomplished landscape artist. His works, including this illustration of the Eurasian Whimbrel, often exhibit meticulous detail that reflects both his artistic skill and his scientific knowledge. Von Wright's pieces remain important to the cultural heritage of both Sweden and Finland, serving as a bridge between art, education, and natural history.
