Weather Vane c. 1939

"Weather Vane" is a graphite drawing by Bernard Westmacott, created around 1939. The artwork depicts a stylized rooster in profile, rendered in meticulous detail with hatching and cross-hatching. Westmacott's careful observation of the subject's form is evident in the accurate depiction of the bird's feathers and the elongated curve of its body. The drawing showcases a realism and attention to detail that is characteristic of Westmacott's work. The inclusion of a scale bar suggests a focus on the precise representation of the weather vane.
