EDITORS COMMENTS

Measuring 27.9x18.5 cm, this artwork is a true masterpiece that belongs to a private collection. The image captures the essence of power and strength as it depicts an imperial eagle in all its glory. The vibrant colours used in the engraving bring life to this majestic bird, highlighting every intricate detail of its feathers and fierce expression. Schmied's artistry shines through as he skillfully portrays the temperament of the eagle, evoking feelings of anger and rage within viewers.
