Weather Vane

Edward L. Loper

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a weather vane. The image shows a design of a weather vane with directional indicators and decorative elements. The weather vane features the four cardinal points: North, South, East, and West, depicted by stylized, overlapping arrows. A spherical ornament sits beneath the cardinal points on an upright pole. The drawing is minimalistic, focusing on the structural form and aesthetic components of the weather vane, using light lines for the overall composition and more defined shading for contrast and dimension.
