Two Redpolls

Two Redpolls, a painting by Ferdinand von Wright, 1830. 



The artwork depicts two redpolls perched on a branch of a small tree or bush. The birds are rendered in watercolor, with muted browns, grays, and a touch of pink on the breast of the lower bird. The style is naturalistic, capturing the birds' posture and plumage with some detail, though not photorealistically. The background is a simple, off-white paper, allowing the birds and the branch to be the focal point. The painting is small, measuring 9.3 cm x 11.3 cm. It is part of the Ateneum collection.
