This is a simple watercolor of an owl perched on a flat surface. The bird faces left, its feathers drawn in soft, smudgy strokes. The background is just a pale, empty sheet of paper. The owl’s dark eyes and smooth feathers look almost alive, but the style is loose—like quick sketches. The artist signed it in the corner with a date. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
