Associated Names

Albert Eyth

Artist, American, c. 1890 - 1955

The image shows a stylized rooster standing on a weather vane. The rooster has a prominent comb and long, flowing tail feathers, standing on a horizontal bar. Below the bar is a vertical pole connected to a spherical weight and conical support structure. Shading is used to create depth, giving the rooster and objects a three-dimensional effect against a plain background.
