This hand-colored lithograph depicts a long-eared owl (Asio otus) in lifelike detail, with finely rendered feather texture, barred underparts, and upright ear tufts that give the species its name. The owl grips a weathered branch with sharp talons, its large yellow eyes fixed forward, conveying nocturnal vigilance. The artistic style reflects late 19th- or early 20th-century ornithological illustration traditions.
