Sleek Elegance: The Northern Pintail by Magnus von Wright, Published in 1929

About the Item

The image is a vintage ornithological illustration titled 'Anas (Dafila) Acuta', depicting the northern pintail, a graceful and slender duck known for its elegant lines and long tail feathers. This particular print is sourced from the work "Svenska Foglar Efter Naturen Och Pa Stenritade," by the artist Magnus von Wright. Magnus von Wright, a Swedish-Finnish painter and educator, lived between June 13, 1805, and July 5, 1868. He is particularly known for his accurate and detailed bird illustrations, which have contributed significantly to the field of ornithology. His illustrations are often praised for their scientific relevance and their aesthetic appeal. Von Wright's illustrations, including this one of the northern pintail, reflect a combination of scientific precision and artistic sensibility, capturing the nuances of the bird's plumage, posture, and natural habitat. His work on "Svenska Foglar" is among his most celebrated contributions, as it provided an extensive visual catalog of the birds of Sweden, each rendered with meticulous attention to detail and a naturalist's eye for accuracy. This illustration is no exception, presenting the northern pintail in its serene poise, with the distinctive long tail that gives this species its name. The print is a testament to von Wright's legacy as an artist who managed to bridge the gap between art and science, creating works that continue to be appreciated by both bird enthusiasts and art connoisseurs.
