Eagle

Bernard Westmacott

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts an eagle perched upon a decorative base. The eagle is intricately detailed with a strong curve to its beak and detailed feathers. The color appears to be dark, possibly grayscale or charcoal. The material is hard, possibly stone. The eagle is in an upright position with wings partially extended. Below the main image, there are three smaller sketches showing different stylized representations of an eagle.
