Door Stop: Eagle

Arthur Mathews

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts an eagle with its wings slightly spread. The eagle is crafted in gold or a golden color. The eagle is perched upon a black base. The eagle is positioned facing slightly to the left. Its eyes seem focused in the distance. The eagle's posture is dynamic, with detailed feathers and a sharp, well-defined beak. The base is angular and solid.
