A barn owl perches upright on a weathered wooden post in this striking linocut print, rendered in white against a solid black background. Fine parallel lines define the bird's distinctive heart-shaped facial disc, large forward-facing eyes, and mottled plumage, while short marks indicate grasses at the base. The high contrast creates a stark, graphic appearance that captures the nocturnal predator in a state of watchful alertness. This contemplative piece brings quiet character to any room, working beautifully in a bedroom, study, or hallway where its serene presence can be fully appreciated. A original, printed in the UK on heavyweight satin giclée paper and presented in a clean frame, ready to hang.
