The eagle is the king of falcons, the most intelligent as well as the most stubborn of the lot. It is as strong as it is large, with a temper that puts the finest of falconers to the test. They say a falconer who flies a hawk is identified by the scratches on their wrist; the one who flies a vulture, by the injuries on their upper arm; and the one who flies an eagle, by the eye-patch. Indeed the eagle is a creature of indomitable spirit - unforgiving, unyielding - that knows nothing but to have its own way.

The fine painting that you see on this page depicts a majestic eagle perched on a green velvet cushion. Its plumage is a blend of tawny and blue, the details of which have been introduced to the composition using superfine brushstrokes. Its pristine breast and neck are turned away from the foreground as it stares into the distance with its keen, aquiline gaze. Note the expressive curve of its golden beak and the lifelike curvature of its tawny claws.
