Tranquil Reflections: Bird Print of The Young Velvet Scoter by Magnus von Wright
About the Item
This print features the Velvet Scoter, scientifically known as Oidemia fusca, represented with precision and artistry. The bird is depicted in a resting position with a full side profile, showcasing its rounded body, thick neck, and broad bill. The Velvet Scoter's plumage is rendered in rich, dark tones with subtle variegations that hint at the velvety texture for which it is named.
The artist, Magnus von Wright, has paid particular attention to the Velvet Scoter's characteristic facial markings and the distinct white speculum on the wings, which stand out against the darker feathers. The bird's eye is rendered with a lifelike gleam, and the beak is detailed with shades of color that capture its unique shape and form.
Von Wright's expertise in illustrating the nuances of feather patterns is evident, with each feather meticulously defined to provide a sense of depth and realism. The webbed feet are splayed naturally, suggesting the bird's adaptation to its aquatic habitat.
The inscription, "Svärta ♂ andra vintern," translates to "Velvet Scoter male, second winter," indicating that the illustration likely portrays a male in its non-breeding or eclipse plumage, which occurs after the first year. This detailed specificity would be crucial for ornithologists and enthusiasts interested in the species' lifecycle and seasonal changes.
As part of the 'Svenska Foglar Efter Naturen Och Pa Stenritade' collection, this print serves as a testament to von Wright's dedication to the natural sciences and his ability to infuse his scholarly work with the aesthetic sensibilities of his time.This print features the Velvet Scoter, scientifically known as Oidemia fusca, represented with precision and artistry.
