Chalkware Pigeon Figurine

Mina Lowry

National Gallery of Art

A sculpture of a pigeon with an enlarged chest is seated on a round base. The bird has a predominantly white body with small red spots on its chest, brown wings with red accents, and a brown tail. The base is a simple, circular pedestal made of a light-colored material. The pigeon is centrally positioned, facing slightly to the right, allowing a clear view of its distinct plumage. The background is plain and neutral.
