Weather Vane

Edward L. Loper

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a weather vane with a decorative arrow at the top, a spherical finial, and a larger sphere below it on the central rod. The color palette includes shades of black, gray, and earthy tones for the balls. The rod with the arrow and spherical elements is vertically positioned in the center of the image, with directional indicators for North, South, East, and West extending horizontally. A smaller, simplified diagram of the weather vane is visible in the top left corner of the image.
