This work captures the eerie and dreamlike atmosphere characteristic of Ernst’s vision — blending mythological, erotic, and fantastical elements. The painting portrays a richly textured red owl-like figure beside ethereal nude female forms and a crane, all rendered within a mysterious, geometrically patterned interior. The composition balances surreal symbolism and psychological tension, staying true to Ernst’s iconic use of texture and surreal imagery.

Housed in an ornate gilt frame that complements the painting’s moody and theatrical tone, this piece evokes the enigmatic and avant-garde aesthetic of mid-century surrealist revival reproductions popular in the 1960s–70s. Unsigned.
