Description

An Inuit stone cut print that is a stylized representation of an owl appearing ready to pounce on a lemming. At the centre of the picture plane, a large spotted owl with dark open wings and white feet appears to hover over a small lemming, facing right. The lemming is below and slightly to the right of the owl, and is brown with short narrow stripes / hash marks. The painting is signed "Aggeo" in pencil in the lower right below the image.
