Quietude by the Shore: Female Tufted Duck by Magnus von Wright, 1929
About the Item
This antique print, titled 'Nyroca Fuligula', depicts a female tufted duck in delicate detail, highlighting the bird's characteristic brown plumage and distinctive yellow eye. The tufted duck is a medium-sized diving duck with a wide geographical distribution across Eurasia. This particular illustration showcases the bird in a tranquil, natural setting, which is rendered with a high level of realism.
The print is part of "Svenska Foglar Efter Naturen Och Pa Stenritade," by Magnus von Wright. As a Swedish-Finnish painter and educator, Magnus von Wright had a profound impact on the natural history art of Scandinavia. His detailed and scientifically accurate illustrations have been a valuable resource for ornithologists and bird enthusiasts alike.
Von Wright, born on June 13, 1805, was known not only for his bird illustrations but also for his evocative landscapes that beautifully captured the Scandinavian environment. His work, created during a time when photography was not widely available, provided an important visual record that has been used for both educational and aesthetic purposes.
Throughout his life, von Wright combined his twin passions for education and natural history, contributing to the proliferation of knowledge about the diverse avian species of Sweden and Finland. His illustrations, such as this one of the female tufted duck, are celebrated for their artistic merit and continue to be sought after by collectors of vintage prints and admirers of wildlife art.
