Artist, French, 1808 - 1879

This is a drawing of a rotund figure holding a birdcage, with two owls flying away. The figure is exaggerated, providing a humorous or satirical tone typical of caricature drawings. The detailed line work captures the textures of the figure's clothes and the feathers of the flying owls. The owls appear to be emerging freely, contrasting with the static posture of the central figure. The setting is minimalistic, focusing on the interaction between the subject and the owls.
