Flora Merchant

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a rooster with prominently displayed features, including a detailed comb and well-defined tail feathers. The material of the sculpture appears to be a stone or ceramic, characterized by a grayish tone with subtle variations in shading to highlight the texture of the feathers and body. The rooster is sculpted in a proud and upright posture, perched on a smooth, rounded base.
