"Follower Of Jean Jacques Bachelier (1724-1806), The Owl And Its Prey, Oil"
Follower Of Jean Jacques Bachelier (1724-1806) Owl holding its prey on an oak tree Oil on oval canvas Dimension: 64.5 x 54 cm Dimension with frame: 78 x 68 cm Very beautiful painting of great finesse of execution , the owl is rarely represented in painting at rest with its prey in its claws. It seems that the bird has just landed on an oak tree. Its prey, trapped in its strong claws, loses its plumage which falls delicately on the tree in the direction of a wandering snail. The bird, its gaze fixed on the viewer, spreads its wings against a very bright blue background which magnifies it.
