Poppy Field Owls Jigsaw

‘The dark owls sit in solemn state, / Like stranger gods; by twos and twos / Their red eyes gleam. / They meditate’, from ‘The Owls’ by Charles Baudelaire (1821-67)
An evocative jigsaw puzzle to create a moonlit scene, reproducing an intricate illustration of the British countryside by British artist Anne Mortimer (b.1958). Set amidst a background of corn fields and meadows with poppies, the design features the five species of owls seen most across the UK: the Barn Owl, Tawny Owl, Little Owl, Short-eared Owl and Long-eared Owl. A delightfully detailed scene includes details of gold finches, moths, fieldmice, foxes, hares and distant deer all set under a starry sky and full moon. An ideal gift for the art lover, this beautifully observed puzzle celebrates British wildlife illustration and the quiet poetry of the rural landscape. Created in sustainable materials, the space-saving box and plastic-free packaging adds an environmentally friendly-quality to the beauty of the country scene.
