English: The signature says the scene is from Ärentuna, north of Uppsala, where Liljefors stayed in a cottage in winter 1883–84. There were many black grouse that year in the wet fields, and the goshawk – common in those days – had plenty of prey. Liljefors shot a young hawk and used it as a model, along with grouse. He mounted them in the forest and painted everything outdoors. Grey-white paint applied thinly with a half-dry brush completes the impression of cold winter and swirling snow as the hawk strikes.
Svenska: Av signaturen framgår att platsen där motivet tillkommit är Ärentuna, strax norr om Uppsala. Där bodde Liljefors i en stuga vintern 1883–84. Det året var det gott om orre på de sanka ängarna, och duvhöken – då vanligt förekommande – hade riklig tillgång på byte. Liljefors sköt själv den unghök som han sedan utnyttjade som modell, liksom orrarna. Han gillrade upp fåglarna i skogen och målade allt utomhus. Gråvit färg pålagd tunt med halvtorr pensel förmedlar intrycket av vinterkyla och snö som yr vid hökens plötsliga attack.
