About the Item

This print captures a male Greater Scaup, also known by the scientific name Nyroca marila. The duck is depicted in a relaxed, seated position, likely on a rock near a body of water, which is subtly indicated by the blue wash beneath the rock. The illustration shows the bird in fine detail, highlighting the intricate feather patterns with varying shades of brown and gray, as well as the distinctive dark head with the slight iridescence that is characteristic of the species. The bird’s bright yellow eye stands out, a signature feature of the male Greater Scaup. The plumage is meticulously represented, with each feather drawn to convey the texture and layering. The soft gradation of colors and the realistic portrayal of the duck’s bill and webbed feet illustrate von Wright's skillful use of naturalistic colors and attention to anatomical details. The caption "Bergand, ung ♂ i nov.," translates to "Greater Scaup, young male in November," suggesting that this image captures the likeness of the bird during the autumn months, which could be significant for recognizing its seasonal plumage or behavior. As with Magnus von Wright's other ornithological works, this print from 'Svenska Foglar Efter Naturen Och Pa Stenritade' would serve as both an educational tool and a piece of art, reflecting his dedication to representing the natural world with scientific accuracy and artistic beauty.
