Description: Ferdinand von Wright was the youngest of the three brothers, and the one who primarily found fame as a painter. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm for a short period but, like his brothers, he was mostly self-taught. His speciality was birds, which were depicted in great detail. The composition is also carefully staged, which can make the overall effect seem somewhat artificial.

Beskrivning: Ferdinand von Wright var yngst av de tre bröderna von Wright, och den som främst blev berömd som målare. Under en kort period studerade han vid Konstakademien i Stockholm, men liksom sina bröder var han snarast autodidakt. Hans specialitet var fågelmotiv, skildrade med stor detaljskärpa. Kompositionerna är också noggrant iscensatta, vilket kan göra att helheten upplevs som lite stelt arrangerad.
