Tawny Owl and Mouse by Paul Eton Vice, Bronze, 16 cm (H) x 25 cm (W) x 16 cm (D)

Tawny Owl and Mouse is a finely observed bronze sculpture by Paul Eton Vice that vividly captures a dramatic yet quiet moment from the natural world. The composition shows a tawny owl standing poised behind an unsuspecting mouse, its sharp gaze locked and body tensed, just moments before it strikes.

Paul Eton Vice sculpts the piece with expert precision, using bronze to convey both subtle tension and lifelike detail. He carefully renders the owl’s feathers with delicate accuracy, while the slight curve of its body expresses a clear sense of readiness and control. In contrast, the small, unaware mouse stands frozen mid-step, creating a striking and emotive juxtaposition between predator and prey.

Its modest scale and compact footprint make this sculpture ideal for table top or shelf display. It draws viewers in for closer inspection, revealing intricate textures and refined forms. The rich patinated surface adds depth and warmth, amplifying the sculpture’s realism and narrative power.

Tawny Owl and Mouse celebrates the quiet drama of nature and reflects the artist’s strong storytelling instincts. It offers a compelling addition to any wildlife art collection, especially for those who appreciate the tension, beauty, and stillness that define the natural world.
