Merihanhia, kopio Ferdinand von Wrightin mukaan is an unspecified by Magnus von Wright, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows three birds near water. The biggest one, a goose, stands on a patch of grass with its wings slightly open. Beside it, a smaller bird sits still, and another bird is half-hidden in the background. The water is calm, with reeds and rocks around the edge. The artist paid close attention to how light hits the feathers, making some areas look smooth and others textured. The dark background helps the birds stand out. If you like this, look up chiaroscuro next to see how artists use light and shadow.
