This is a drawing of an eagle with ornate decorations. The drawing depicts a symmetrically posed eagle with its wings spread wide. Below the eagle, there is an intricate arrangement of foliage, leaves, and flowers. The composition includes three circular shapes lined across the eagle's chest, integrated into the decorative elements. The background is a plain, unadorned surface. The creator's name, Elmer G. Anderson, and a scale reference (6 inches = 1 foot) are inscribed below the design. The drawing exhibits a meticulous attention to detail and a classical style that emphasizes both naturalistic elements and symmetrical design.
