Eagle and Young

About this work

This drawing shows a big eagle soaring over a stormy sea. Below it, waves crash against a rocky shore, and a small boat flips upside down. The sky is dark with rain, and a distant city sits on a hill. The eagle’s sharp claws grip something small—maybe its young. The artist used fine lines to show every feather and wave, making it look almost real. Next, check out the technique: etching to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
