Eagle c. 1939

Chris Makrenos's "Eagle" from c. 1939 depicts a detailed illustration of an eagle perched atop a sphere. The realistic, almost photographic, rendering of the bird, with its outstretched wings, suggests a focus on accuracy and observation. The use of muted tones in the depiction of the eagle, possibly inspired by a bronze sculpture, conveys a sense of history and tradition. The artwork, with its intricate detailing of the eagle's feathers and talons, demonstrates Makrenos's skills as a draftsman.
