Woman with the Owl is a 1500 ink by Master MZ, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a woman in a long dress and head covering, standing in a landscape with rolling hills and trees. She is holding a cloth in her hands and looking up at a banner with illegible text. The woman is surrounded by various objects, including a bird, a flower, and a building in the background. In the foreground, the woman's dress and head covering are rendered in intricate detail, with folds and creases visible in the fabric. The landscape behind her is more subdued, with gentle hills and trees that recede into the distance. This image is reminiscent of the works of Master MZ, a Renaissance artist known for his engravings and allegorical scenes.
