Owls
Chromolithograph Fine art This artwork is an
Art Nouveau chromolithograph titled "Owls" (or Eulen), created in 1896 by the German artist and art professor Anton Seder.
The piece is part of Seder's renowned portfolio titled Das Thier in der decorativen Kunst (The Animal in Decorative Art), which was published in Vienna by Gerlach & Schenk.
Key Details of the Artwork:

Artist: Anton Johann Nepomuk Seder (1850–1916), who was a director of the Arts and Crafts School in Strasbourg and a master of transforming natural forms into elaborate decorative patterns.
Style: The work is a prime example of Art Nouveau, characterized by its fusion of nature, mysticism, and highly stylized organic forms, such as the decorative lines framing the birds and the detailed feather patterns.
Composition: The plate features various owl species, including a barn owl perched on a book, and multiple scenes of owls in flight or perched on branches against stylized botanical backgrounds.
Original Medium: It was originally produced as a chromolithograph on wove paper, often measuring approximately 10 x 15 inches for individual plates.
