This painting depicts a weather vane with a figure blowing a horn. The weather vane shows a running figure blowing a horn on top of an arrow balanced on a spherical fulcrum. The base of the weather vane is a geometric pedestal transitioning from a cuboidal lower section to a pyramid shape. The colors used are muted blues and greens reminiscent of patinated metal. The composition is simple, focusing on the contrast and shapes of the weather vane's design. The style is reminiscent of American Folk Art, emphasizing clarity and simplicity.
