Washington Sea eagle (1836-1839)

John James AudubonSmithsonian American art Museum

I see an eagle looking over the sea. I first notice the eagle because it is the biggest thing in the picture. In the distance I see a ship. I think the physical setting of the picture is in the morning because its bright outside I think this image was made because the eagle is representing the USA and how its looking over everyone. I think the audience for this picture is the USA. From this picture, I cant really learn anything other than there is an eagle looking in the distance. If someone made this today, The ship would look different. Who was on the shipWhat else is in the distanceWhen was this takenWhere are the ships headedWhy is the eagle looking at the sea
