Interior Of The Marieberg Workshop 1850 - 1852

Ferdinand von Wright's "Interior of the Marieberg Workshop" (1850-1852) offers a glimpse into the daily life of a taxidermist's workshop. The scene depicts two men, likely the taxidermist and his assistant, working on a swan, its white feathers spread out across the wooden floor. The painting's realism, capturing the tools of the trade and the meticulous process of taxidermy, speaks to Wright's fascination with the natural world. The composition includes details like a sleeping dog, a clock, and a fur coat hanging on the wall, highlighting the atmosphere of a bustling workshop.
