Weather Vane

Helen Hobart

National Gallery of Art

The image features a weather vane in the shape of a galloping horse. The weather vane is intricately crafted and positioned centrally. The color palette is predominantly monochromatic with various shades of gray. The horse's body is angled slightly upward on the vertical axis, supported by a horizontal arrow. The tail and back of the horse extend left, while its head and front legs reach right. The vertical and horizontal lines intersect to form a cross-like structure, with the vertical line ending in decorative spearheads above and below the horse.
