Milton Grubstein

Artist, American, born 1918

The sculpture depicts an eagle with its wings spread wide and its head turned to the side. The color of the sculpture is dark grey, and it is made of a stone material. The surface of the sculpture is textured, suggesting feathers on the eagle. Positioned atop a rounded form, the eagle appears powerful and poised from a viewer's perspective. The details in the wings and body showcase intricate work, giving the sculpture a sense of realism.
