The artwork entitled “A Weathervane,” created by Jamie Wyeth in 1980, is a lithograph on paper. This piece falls under the art movement of Contemporary Realism and depicts a cityscape scene.
The artwork portrays a weathered brick structure topped with a classic weathervane featuring a rooster. The structure is partially covered with snow, adding to the sense of a cold, wintry environment. The night’s deep blue sky, flecked with numerous stars, creates a striking backdrop that enhances the green hue of the weathervane. The balance between the stark, decrepit brick and the vibrant elements of the weathervane against a celestial scene exemplifies the artist’s skill in blending realism with a touch of poetic atmosphere.
