Weather Vane

Nicholas Acampora

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a leaping deer. The deer is shown with a pronounced antlered head, and its body is rendered with movement and grace. The sculpture is composed of a material that appears to be metal, likely bronze, with a dark brown hue and variations in shading accentuating the musculature and contours of the deer's body. The deer is positioned atop a horizontal base that supports the sculpture. This artwork is viewed from a side profile, showcasing the leaping posture and form of the animal against a plain background.
