A group of eagles are zeroing in on a dead reindeer and her still living calf in the barren Northern wild.
F. R. Schiertz was a Norwegian-German painter and drew for scientific expeditions and architects. This dramatic scene from a northern landscape is typical of his idealized and momentous landscape paintings. Fun fact: he was Fritjof Nansen's drawing teacher.
