Twee uilen 1921

"Twee uilen" (Two Owls) is a woodcut print created in 1921 by Dutch artist Julie de Graag (1877-1924). The print, which is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, depicts two owls, one perched atop the other, against a dark background. The simplified forms and bold outlines characteristic of woodcut printing give the image a striking, almost graphic quality. De Graag's use of black and white creates a strong contrast, enhancing the owls' presence and highlighting their detailed features.
