Owl

Hester Duany

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is of an owl crafted from wood, standing upright with its wings tucked against its body and its head turned slightly to the side. It features a lattice-like texture covering its surface, resembling feathers. The color of the sculpture is a natural wood tone, with variations of light and dark brown. The owl has defined eyes, a pointed beak, and sharp talons gripping a rocky base.
