Tie-back

Harry Jennings

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture features an eagle with wings partially spread, resting on an intricately designed base resembling draped fabric. The material seems weathered, possibly bronze, with a patina of green and brown swirls. The sculpture appears to be small to medium-sized. Details like the eagle's feathers and the texture of the drapery are carefully rendered, conveying a sense of movement and grace in its static form.
