While preening is more for maintenance on geese than a practice in vanity, the act itself is a graceful display of different postures and actions to keep one's feathers in...While preening is more for maintenance on geese than a practice in vanity, the act itself is a graceful display of different postures and actions to keep one's feathers in top condition. A long neck arched over, creating a beautiful form in the animal as it diligently arranges their feathers to best keep them warm and dry. With this work, one can easily imagine this goose, floating on the water as it buries its beak in its feathers, and moments away from a quick shake to straighten back up again. The smooth gloss of the stone gives further emphasis to the feathers carved along the back of the work, all in all a beautiful rendition of an arctic avian scene.Provenance
