Draped in the dark fabrics of a Golden Age nobleman, the eagle poses in three-quarter view, its piercing eye turned to the light just as in a portrait signed Vermeer. The contrast between the bird's wild plumage and the solemn baroque costume is delightfully theatrical. You cannot help smiling at so much majesty lent to a bird of prey, and you linger over every detail, from the lace collar to that commanding stare. The careful chiaroscuro, the texture of the feathers and the dark drapery give the raptor the bearing of a great lord.

This portrait belongs to our gallery of animals dressed up in the manner of the old masters, made for a study, a library or an entrance that enjoys a wink, where it draws the eye at once. It will win over lovers of classical painting and mischievous minds alike, and takes its place in our Bird Posters collection.
