I fara för sälar 1906

"I fara för sälar" (In danger from seals), a 1906 illustration by Swedish artist John Bauer (1882–1918), depicts a dramatic scene of two birds flying over a seal in the water. The birds are drawn with great detail and a sense of movement, capturing their fear as they swoop down towards the seal below. The water is rendered with a sense of urgency, reflecting the danger that the seal poses. This illustration, characteristic of Bauer's style, uses a dark and dynamic palette, showcasing the artist's signature illustrative approach to nature and animal depictions.
