"Golden Eagle at a Cliff’s Edge" (1880) by Ferdinand von Wright (1822-1906) is a stunning example of animal realism, depicting a golden eagle perched atop a rocky outcropping, its sharp gaze fixed on the viewer. The bird's majestic presence, with its dark brown plumage and powerful talons, is emphasized against the backdrop of a rugged mountain landscape. This artwork, likely a study of the bird's anatomy and behavior, embodies the meticulous detail and naturalism that characterized the art of Ferdinand von Wright, a renowned Finnish painter of birds.
