Cock Weather Vane

Rollington Campbell

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a stylized rooster made out of a wood-like material with a grey hue. It is shown in a side profile, emphasizing features like the comb, beak, and tail feathers. The feathers and body are simplified for an abstract appearance. This drawing features the rooster on a vertical rod, possibly as a weathervane. Its flat design gives it a two-dimensional outlined silhouette.
