At the age of nineteen, Felix Braquemond executed this print, one of the best-known works of his career. On an old barn door are nailed a crow and an owl flanking a bat; beneath them is a spar­row hawk. The small message tacked to the door beneath the birds warns against the dangers of man's predatory nature.
