Metal Eagle c. 1940

"Metal Eagle" is a watercolor painting by Zabelle Missirian, created around 1940. The artwork depicts a golden eagle perched atop a sphere, its wings spread in a powerful stance. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate depiction of the eagle's feathers and the subtle shading of the metal surface. The image is a testament to Missirian's skill in capturing both the beauty and strength of nature. The painting's realistic style and subject matter would have been appreciated by a general audience in the early 20th century, as it reflects the prevalent interest in wildlife and natural history.
