EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century artwork showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a Long-eared owl (Asio otus). The print, titled "Long-eared owl, 19th century artwork C013 / 6351" is part of the renowned collection "Watercolour drawings of British Animals" by William MacGillivray. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this illustration transports us back to a time when nature was meticulously captured on paper. The long eared owl stands out with its piercing yellow eyes and distinct ear tufts that give it an air of elegance and wisdom. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring this nocturnal predator to life, highlighting every feather and contour with precision. Asio otus, commonly known as the long-eared owl or typical owl, belongs to the raptor family and is revered for its hunting prowess. Displayed against a soft backdrop reminiscent of moonlit nights in the wild, this watercolor painting evokes a sense of tranquility while celebrating the wonders of wildlife. It serves as a testament to both MacGillivray's artistic talent and his dedication to documenting British fauna. This remarkable piece from Plate 141 invites us into the enchanting world of ornithology and zoology during the early 1800s. Preserved by Natural History Museum London/Science Photo Library, it continues to inspire awe in viewers today who appreciate both biological accuracy and artistic expression within scientific illustrations.
