Inscribed and signed, with one seal of the artist

Note:
The eagle's gaze as it soars from high above the tree is like a commander of an army, mighty and fearless, suggestive of one breaking free and ascending into space. Symbolically this picture pays homage to those in high positions who continue to care for the repressed and suffering folk.
