Perched on a single leafless branch with greenish-brown bark, two great horned owls stare back at the viewer with their wide yellow eyes in this Richard Evans Younger print. Sitting in front of one another, the bird in rear pokes its head out from behind the first owl to watch the viewer as well. The artist's skillful depiction of the owls in such a realistic manner is due to his care in replicating the plumage of the birds.
