Man with Owl in Window 

Jacob Jordaens, a Flemish painter known for his masterful depiction of everyday life, created this humorous etching, likely depicting a scene of folly. The artwork captures the jovial expressions of a man and a woman, their exaggerated laughter amplified by the owl perched on a staff held by the woman. The owl, often associated with wisdom, adds a layer of irony to the scene, suggesting the characters' amusement might stem from a misunderstanding or a foolish act. The dynamic composition and expressive details are characteristic of Jordaens' style, which was influenced by Peter Paul Rubens.
