"Wilhelm von Wright (5 April 1810, Haminalahti, near Kuopio – 2 July 1887, Orust) was a Swedish-Finnish painter and amateur naturalist. 
 
His ancestors were Scottish merchants who had settled in Narva during the 17th century and his father was a retired major who owned a large, well-known estate. He was one of nine surviving children and was tutored at home. Two of his brothers, Magnusand Ferdinand, also became painters and illustrators. At the invitation of Magnus, he travelled to Sweden in 1823, where he participated in producing Svenska Fåglar (Swedish birds), a multi-volume set sponsored by Count Nils Bonde."
