Kaksi riippuvaa peipposta is a 1858 unspecified by Wilhelm von Wright, a Realism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows two dead birds hanging upside down by their feet. Their feathers are dull and patchy, and you can see the rough texture of their skin. The background is a plain, warm brown color that makes the birds stand out. The birds are tied with twine, and their wings are spread open. This makes them look still and a little sad. If you like this kind of close-up painting, look into *chiaroscuro*.
