National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicts a bird with its wings spread open atop a spherical base. The material appears to be metallic, likely bronze, with a dark, aged patina. The feathers and form of the bird are detailed and dynamic. The sculpture is oriented for frontal viewing to showcase the bird's outstretched wings and posture while looking downwards.
