An owl sits upright on a windowsill, framed by the bricks of the wall around it. Its face is two large pale discs with dark eyes and a small hooked beak, and its body is covered in rows of chevron-shaped cuts that read as feathers.

The woodcut is titled Ringuil and is dated 17 August 1914; the date and title are cut into the brickwork at the lower left, with the artist's monogram at the lower right. Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita (1868–1944) was a Dutch printmaker known for his woodcuts of animals and birds.

Lab-printed to order on lustre photo paper, in a 4:5 format: 8×10, 16×20, 24×30 and 40×50 inches. A strong graphic piece for a study, a library or a wall of black-and-white prints.
