About this work

This painting shows a large eagle perched on a rocky cliff. Its feathers are detailed, with dark brown and lighter patterns, and it’s facing to the right. Below the eagle, there’s a small, dead bird with white and gray feathers, lying on the rocks. The eagle’s sharp focus contrasts with the soft, blurred mountains in the background. The artist paid close attention to the textures of the feathers and rocks. Look up Wright, Ferdinand von next to see more of his work.
