DescriptionDescription: Bruno Liljefors was not a great traveller. France did not impress him, but he yearned to return to the Swedish landscape. Impressions from French naturalism were, however, to influence his animal painting, which has the same accuracy of detail. Few painters possessed a capacity for observation combined with technical expertise like Liljefors. Mounting several paintings in the same frame was modelled on Japanese precedents were woodcuts were often displayed in the same way.
