Eagle

Robert Galvin and Malcolm Hackney

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features an eagle with spread wings gripping a shield. The shield has vertical lines and a shell emblem at the bottom. The sculpture is a warm brown color, suggesting a wooden material or finish. The eagle's wings and feathers are intricately detailed. The sculpture is flat, likely for wall-mounting, and the wings extend horizontally. The eagle appears centered in relation to the shield.
