he watches the ground, and he hears the trees. that drawing goes HARD.
(they call him "Hieronymus" in English)
The artist or the art?
The artist. "Jérome" is the french version of his name
Very cool! Lots of things jumped out at me the more I looked at the drawing.
Looking up the artist had some surprises too! This is much older than I had thought, and his style looks way ahead of his time.
I have seen a few other works of his, but never knew the significance, so I'll have to read more about him!
For owls that are superb.

If you find an injured owl:
Note your exact location so the owl can be released back where it came from. Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitation specialist to get correct advice and immediate assistance.
Minimize stress for the owl. If you can catch it, toss a towel or sweater over it and get it in a cardboard box or pet carrier. It should have room to be comfortable but not so much it can panic and injure itself. If you can’t catch it, keep people and animals away until help can come.
Do not give food or water! If you feed them the wrong thing or give them water improperly, you can accidentally kill them. It can also cause problems if they require anesthesia once help arrives, complicating procedures and costing valuable time.
If it is a baby owl, and it looks safe and uninjured, leave it be. Time on the ground is part of their growing up. They can fly to some extent and climb trees. If animals or people are nearby, put it up on a branch so it’s safe. If it’s injured, follow the above advice.
