Vulture

Félix Bracquemond

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a large bird with a hooked beak and sharp talons. The bird has a mostly white neck and head with dark eyes. Its body is primarily dark with lighter feathers on the lower part of the wings. It stands on the ground with one leg slightly behind the other. Behind the bird are several other similar birds flying in a cloudy sky. The ground appears rocky with sparse vegetation. The artist's signature is in the lower-right corner. The title of the piece is "Vulture" by Félix Bracquemond.
