Eagle Woodcarving c. 1939

This woodcarving of an eagle, created by American artist Willard Hazen in 1939, depicts the bird’s head and wing in intricate detail. The carving is realistically rendered with a focus on the eagle's plumage, which is meticulously carved and painted to give the impression of feathers. Hazen's work reflects the tradition of wildlife art, highlighting the beauty and power of the natural world. The work is also a testament to Hazen's skill as a woodcarver, as it demonstrates his ability to capture the intricate details of his subject in a three-dimensional form.
