Printed to order and shipped worldwide. Secure checkout via Stripe.

Printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308gsm.

The light is almost gone. A Great Horned Owl sits low on a bare branch, head turned, those feathered ear tufts catching the last of the day. The palette is dusk itself. Warm browns and bracken golds against a deepening slate sky, the soft cream ground of the old plates holding it all together.

This is the hour the owl owns.

The print

A fine-art print in the Audubon tradition, drawn in the style of the great hand-coloured plates and rendered for the wall of a modern home. The detail is close and patient. Barred breast feathers, the heavy talons gripping the branch, the wide gold stare. Printed on archival paper to hold its colour for decades.

Paper and finish

Unframed prints come on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm, a heavyweight archival cotton rag with a soft matte surface that suits the muted dusk tones beautifully.

The framed option is printed on Enhanced Matte 200gsm, then mounted and glazed in a classic moulding. Choose black, brown, dark grey or gold. The framed print is not Hahnemühle, but it arrives ready to hang.

Sizes

Three sizes: A4, A3 and A2. Prints from $39. Framed from $109.

How to hang it

The owl’s deep slate and brown ground reward a dim, intimate spot. Try a landing, a study, or a reading corner where a low lamp can pick out the gold of the eyes after dark.

A dark grey or black moulding echoes the dusk sky and lets the warm feathers come forward. Gold suits a richer, more traditional room.

Hang it a touch lower than usual, at seated eye level. This is a bird you want to meet, not look up to.

About the bird

The Great Horned Owl is one of North America’s most widespread and powerful owls, found from Arctic tree lines to South American rainforest. Those prominent tufts are not ears at all but feathers, and its true ears, hidden in the facial disc, let it hunt by sound alone. A nocturnal predator with an extraordinary grip, it takes prey from mice to skunks and even other raptors. Its deep, soft hoot is the classic sound of a woodland night.

The most patient hunter in the wood, and the most still.
