Scratchboard Illustration of a Barn Owl in a Moonlit Barn

A black scratchboard illustration of a barn owl perched on a rough wooden beam inside a quiet barn at night, 16:9 landscape, high-contrast white scratched lines on deep black ink board. Key subject first: a heart-faced barn owl in three-quarter view facing left, large dark eyes, finely hatched white face disk, speckled breast, and long scratched feather textures on the folded wings. Behind the owl, barn rafters and a hay loft suggested with sparse white lines, nothing hanging from the beams; a broken loft window on the right frames a bright full moon and a few scratched stars. Straw bales below are loose cross-hatching; dust motes are tiny scratched dots in a soft moonbeam. Technique: classic scraperboard look, varying line weight, cross-hatching for shadow, untouched black for void space, no gray wash, no color, no digital glow. Mood still, watchful, slightly eerie but calm. No text, no signature, no watermark, no color tint.
