Collection: People and Owl

Gunther Stephan - William Degouve de Nuncques, Child with Owl, 1892


Francoise Gilot (French, b.1921) Little Girl with Owl 1960







Happy Friday, everyone! There are so many wonderful artworks where artists have illustrated people and depicted owls as their friends. I thought it would be fun to make a post with images that describe just that. I hope you enjoy them. 

Have a great weekend. See you all on Monday!
