"Eyes for the Night" is a 1947 lithograph by Benton Spruance, a prominent American artist known for his distinctive graphic style. The artwork depicts a nude female figure holding an owl, with a suggestion of a window behind them. The composition is striking and the chiaroscuro (contrast of light and dark) creates a sense of mystery and intrigue. Spruance's mastery of line and shading imbues the image with a sense of both realism and stylized abstraction, reflecting his unique artistic vision.
