DescriptionDescription: The fight for survival was a common theme in Bruno Liljefors’ art. Here, he has depicted a goshawk chasing a flock of black grouse in a winter landscape. Liljefors chose to capture this dramatic moment in a manner like that of a photographic snapshot. The artist had a very thorough method, arranging taxidermy birds outside in natural settings.
