En fugl forsvarer sine unger i reden mod en snog og et firben is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This close-up shows a nest packed with small birds and eggs, tangled in leaves and branches. A bird hovers nearby, wings spread wide. The background is dark and blurry, while the nest and birds stand out in lighter tones. Some leaves and twigs are sharp and detailed, others smudged. The artist used strong light and shadow to make the nest pop against the dark. The brushstrokes are thick in spots, giving texture to the leaves and feathers. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
