Carlo Wahlbeck Collection

Eagle Headdress

Dimensions:

A striking, stylized portrait rendered almost entirely in warm sepia and gold. A great pair of eagle wings sweeps upward and outward from the crown of the head, their feathers built from loose, sun-colored brushstrokes that read as much like flame as plumage. The face beneath is quiet and centered, painted in muted rose and umber against a bare cream ground, so that the headdress itself becomes the subject — a study of flight, ceremony, and transformation rather than a literal likeness.
