The Castle of the Owls by Félix Hilaire Buhot: A black-and-white artwork featuring a large circular inset on the left side, depicting a nighttime landscape with a full moon and a long line of owls on the ground facing the viewer; in the background, a large castle-like structure and trees are visible. On the right side, an ex-libris plate displays various objects, including a scroll with the text "EX LIBRIS," a ship on water in the background, a music sheet with illegible cursive text, a spoon and fork crossed on a plate, and a cherub hanging onto the scroll. The artwork appears to be an etching, with a mix of light and dark areas and a rough texture. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom-left corner.
