Beskrivning

This print is a detailed illustration of a bird titled Oriolus Oriolus L. (the Eurasian Golden Oriole). The male bird is shown perched in profile on a small leafy branch, displaying its striking yellow and black plumage and reddish beak. The illustration is vibrantly hand-colored, highlighting the contrast between the bird's brilliant yellow body and black wings. The scientifically accurate depiction of the bird's posture and distinctive coloration is characteristic of ornithological plates from the 19th century. The illustration originates from a major Scandinavian ornithological work, Svenska Foglar (Swedish Birds).

Magnus von Wright was a Finnish-Swedish painter and ornithologist. He, along with his brothers Wilhelm and Ferdinand, are considered the most significant Finnish natural history artists of their time. Magnus von Wright specialized in painting and drawing birds, and his work forms a core part of the highly respected Svenska Foglar (Swedish Birds), which became the definitive illustrated guide to Scandinavian birds.
