Eagle

Curry M. Bartlett

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a carved wooden eagle's head. It features a detailed representation of an eagle's head, carved from wood, with a distinct beak and a dark eye. The carving has textured details suggesting feathers, and a decorative flourish at the end resembling a spiral or scroll. The wood carving appears aged and weathered, with visible cracks. Light and shadow enhance the three-dimensional quality of the carving. The style is naturalistic, capturing the essence of an eagle.
