The owl theme in Lurçat's work The owl is a recurring motif in Jean Lurçat's bestiary. This animal has a strong symbolism: Wisdom and knowledge: The owl is traditionally associated with Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom. Mystery and intuition: As a nocturnal bird, it symbolizes the ability to see beyond appearances and unlock secrets. Protection and transformation: In some cultures, it is seen as a guardian and guide in times of change. The representation of the owl in a wardrobe could add a dimension of mystery and intimacy, suggesting hidden wisdom or introspection.
