"Pa. German Eaglet" is a drawing on paper by Hester Duany created around 1941. The artwork depicts a detailed rendering of a Pennsylvania Dutch, or "Pa. German," wooden sculpture of an eagle perched on a pedestal. The intricate carving of the eagle's feathers and the simple, yet detailed, depiction of the base showcase Duany's talent for capturing the essence of folk art. This drawing highlights the importance of traditional Pennsylvania German crafts and their unique aesthetic.
