About this work

This page shows a small watercolor drawing of an owl. The owl faces left, with its wings slightly folded and a thin tail feather. The background is plain, and the page has a few faint stains. The artist used soft browns and blacks to show the owl’s feathers in detail. The watercolor looks delicate, with light shading around the eyes.
