Wolf's Head

Harry King

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts the head of a roaring lion crafted from a wood-like material with a natural light brown color, grain patterns, and small irregularities. It shows detailed features such as a furrowed brow, bared teeth, and flowing mane, giving the lion's head a dynamic appearance. The sculpture is presented in a profile view, showing the full length of the lion's head and part of its neck.
