This dramatic, large-scale patinated bronze sculpture captures a bald eagle in dynamic flight, swooping down to seize a fish from the water. The eagle is frozen mid-action, clenching its aquatic prey in its talons while grasping a gnarled, weathered tree branch. The piece features highly detailed textures on the feathers, branch, and fish, accented with a rich, multi-toned brown and verdigris green patina. The bronze is signed, dated 1997, and numbered 13/15 in the cast. It is securely mounted on a rotating circular wooden plinth base fitted with a brass title plate.
