Mosaic - Dining hall room of the Sainte-Barbe library, Paris 

This mosaic by Giandomenico Facchina (1826-1904) depicts a scene of a garden with an owl perched on a branch. The mosaic's intricate detail, crafted from small colored stones, creates a realistic representation of the foliage, fruit, and the owl. The inclusion of two columns flanking the scene suggests an architectural context, potentially from a library or other grand structure. Facchina's work showcases the beauty of mosaic art in depicting natural settings, demonstrating its capacity to capture both the intricate details and the overall atmosphere of a scene.
