EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-coloured engraving of the Great Eared Owl, created by British artist Prideaux John Selby in 1841. The artwork measures an impressive 67x54 cm and is part of a private collection. The close-up portrait-style composition allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this magnificent bird. With its piercing direct gaze, the owl appears both majestic and alert, capturing our attention instantly. Against a pristine white background, the hand-colouring technique adds depth and vibrancy to the illustration. Selby's expertise as an illustrator shines through in this mid-19th century piece from his renowned work "Illustrations of British Ornithology". The artist skillfully captures not only the physical attributes but also the natural behavior and predatory nature of this fascinating creature. The Great Eared Owl stands out with its unique plumage pattern, showcasing shades of brown and white that blend harmoniously together. This portrayal exemplifies Selby's mastery in depicting birds accurately while infusing them with artistic flair. As we admire this exceptional print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever by Selby's talented hands. This artwork serves as a testament to both British artistry and ornithological exploration during the 19th century.
