Counterbalance Rooster

Lloyd Charles Lemcke

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a rooster in a simple, stylized form. It is made of weathered metal, likely iron. The color of the sculpture is a mix of dark brown and gray tones, with patches of lighter oxidation contributing to its aged look. The rooster sculpture is flat and two-dimensional, with a scalloped edge on the tail and a clearly defined comb and beak. It stands on a solid base that includes a round hole.
