Selje - Salix caprea L. by Olaf Alfred Hoffstad
Selje — the Goat Willow, Salix caprea — is rendered in Olaf Alfred Hoffstad's precise, unhurried hand with the structural clarity that defined his Norsk Flora. The composition captures the willow across its seasonal states: catkins in early bloom, unfurling leaves, and detailed cross-sections that reveal the plant's inner logic. Set against a plain ground, the soft greys of the catkins and the fresh greens of new growth create a palette that feels genuinely Nordic — understated, clear-eyed, and quietly beautiful in the tradition of 19th-century Scandinavian botanical science.
Reproduced as a canvas print, the soft, layered tones of Hoffstad's illustration gain a warm depth that suits the Willow's gentle character. The textured canvas surface adds physicality and dimension to the fine botanical linework. Produced in our Berlin studio.
