This is a black and white woodcut print depicting an owl perched on a branch. The owl is the central focus, rendered in a highly stylized and graphic manner. Its feathers are indicated by dense, closely-spaced parallel lines, creating a textured effect. The owl has large, round eyes and a small beak. Its head is topped with two feather-like tufts, giving it a distinctive appearance. The owl's body is elongated and streamlined, with a subtle suggestion of wings. The owl is perched on a simple, horizontal branch, which is also rendered with parallel lines. The background is plain, with a rectangular border around the owl and branch. The overall style is reminiscent of Art Deco or early 20th-century graphic design. In the lower right corner, there is a signature and date: 'Mosquito 1915'. The print is on a slightly off-white paper, and there is a subtle texture to the paper itself. The image is well-preserved, with no visible damage or fading.
