Turkey c. 1913

John Singer Sargent's bronze sculpture "Turkey" is a lifelike depiction of the bird, captured in a moment of contemplation. Created around 1913, the sculpture showcases Sargent's masterful ability to translate form and texture into a three-dimensional work. The bird's intricate plumage, rendered with meticulous detail, creates a sense of realism, while the simplified pose and muted colors convey a quiet dignity. This work of animal sculpture is a testament to Sargent's versatility beyond his renowned portraiture.
