The owl's piercing gaze seems to penetrate our very souls, evoking a sense of mystery and wisdom that these nocturnal creatures are often associated with. As we admire this artwork, we are transported back to the 18th century when natural history illustrations were highly valued for their scientific accuracy as well as their aesthetic appeal. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into the world of birds through Buffon's extensive research.
