Description
The Little Owl, painted in 1506 by Albrecht Durer, is a rarity for it time. This was a watercolor painting originally with some gouache and pen added to bring out the details of the owl particularly in the plumage and talons. The artist went against the norm of using the owl as a symbol of the danger of the night, but rather focused on depicting the beauty of this animal as found in nature. There is little known about this piece but is still a very impressive example of the skill of this artist. The original is currently at the Graphische Sammlung Albertina in Vienna.
