Weather Vane

Rollington Campbell

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a standing deer with large antlers, held upright and facing right. It appears to be made of a weathered material, likely metal, as suggested by its gray color and textured surface. The deer is represented in a simplistic, side-profile form, with cut out shapes for the legs and body. The sculpture is flat, resembling a silhouette, and is mounted on a pole beneath the legs. The overall appearance is rustic with irregular surface textures and patina.
