Sculptor, American, 1876 - 1973

The sculpture depicts a young deer or fawn in a grazing position, with its head bent down toward the ground. The deer is captured in a relaxed stance, its legs slightly bent, and its body showing graceful curves and naturalistic details that highlight the musculature and texture of its fur. The material of the sculpture appears to be bronze, showcasing a rich brown color with a shiny, polished surface that catches the light. The size of the sculpture suggests it might be displayed on a surface such as a table or pedestal for viewing. The sculpture sits on a rectangular base that resembles a section of natural terrain.
