This illustration features an owl labeled "Hibou Leschenault," which is the Brown Fish Owl (Ketupa zeylonensis leschenaulti), a subspecies named in honor of the French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Leschenault de La Tour.
Description of the Print:
- The owl is perched on a branch, showcasing its distinctive plumage. It has a robust body with brown feathers marked by intricate patterns and shades. The face is adorned with large, expressive eyes, typical of owls, and feather tufts resembling ears. The illustration meticulously details the textures and patterns of the feathers, emphasizing the bird's natural beauty.
