Girl with Little Owl (Owl of Athena), found in warmer parts of Europe, Asia and North Africa

In this intimate portrait, a young girl stands before the trunks of two large trees, while a burrowing owl in flight hovers behind her. 

Links across the color palette highlight the girl’s connection to her surroundings: her vibrant yellow shirt mirrors the glowing backdrop and the owl’s eyes; her hair and skin echo the warm hues of the tree trunks; and the bead and cowrie shell necklaces she wears resonate with the owl’s plumage—all creating a harmonious interplay between the girl and her environment.
