Eagle

Alice Domey

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a bird with outstretched wings standing on a leafy or mossy green base. The bird features a yellow crest atop its head, a red-orange beak, and predominantly brown or dark gray feathers, with detailed sculpting visible in the design of its wings and body. Its talons and lower legs are bright yellow, contrasting with the green base. The overall appearance suggests a tactile, textured surface, indicating the sculpture might be made from a durable material such as wood or metal, coated or painted to emphasize its color distinctions. The bird is in a poised position.
