Weather Vane

Edward L. Loper

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a weather vane with a rooster design at the top and a directional arrow beneath it. The color palette is primarily earthy tones with greens, corroded metals, and a hint of red on the rooster. The rooster is perched atop the directional arrow, which sits on a multi-tiered metal structure resembling a compass rose with the letters N, E, S, W. All of this rests on a green-toned base that resembles a rooftop.
