Just a superb owl couple, dressed and skating on a frozen river in seventeenth century Europe, with him holding a mouse in its beak, and her looking a bit grumpy because of the state of the world.
This is what I call a #timelinecleanse. Not one #superbOwl but two #superbOWLS on ice.
While 'owls on ice' is already something and a half, this engraving has also a motto (in Dutch): Hoe passen wy byeen - How do we fit together? It is about couples and about being together with someone in a world of nonsense, a timeless topic made under the impression of the #ThirtyYearsWar in Europe.
