Dragon Weather Vane

Dorothy Hay Jensen

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a wooden dragon sculpture mounted on a neutral background. The dragon is depicted in a side profile, showcasing its elongated body, detailed fins, and open jaws. The sculpture has been painted to resemble weathered wood, with some areas marked or stained. Muted earthy tones are used to enhance the rustic feeling of the dragon figure. The creature is positioned as if it is in motion, with its tail slightly curved.
