Carved Stork

Betty Fuerst

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features a standing bird, with its head slightly tilted upwards and wings partially spread. The bird is crafted from a yellowish material, set against a mottled blue background. The depiction is on a rectangular plaque, with the bird's legs extending downwards to a green area, suggesting ground or water. The bird's stylized and elongated features create a sense of elegance and grace.
