Per Hasselberg created the sculpture Tjusningen, which was his first public work. The piece depicts a young boy with wings who plays with two birds sitting in his raised hand.
The sculpture was originally executed in plaster in 1880 before being cast in bronze. The work has been noted for its fine study of movement.
Two bronze castings of Tjusningen were cast in 1917 at Meyers konstgjuteri. One of these castings is located in Rådhusparken in Ronneby, while the other is located at Mariatorget in Stockholm.
