Black grouse 1900

Theodor Kittelsen's "Black Grouse" from 1900 depicts a solitary bird perched on a pine branch against a twilight sky. The artist, known for his illustrations of Norwegian folklore, captures the bird's silhouette in stark contrast to the surrounding darkness. The artwork evokes a sense of isolation and mystery, characteristic of Kittelsen's work. The detailed rendering of the tree branches and the minimalist background create a sense of depth and atmosphere.
