Artist, Swiss, 1809 - 1893

The image shows a side view of a deer and a fawn standing in a wooded area. The larger deer appears to be lifting its head. The ground is textured with leaves and foliage, and there are large trees in the background with branches extending across the scene. The horizon is obscured by the dense forest. The artwork features highly detailed brushstroke-like patterns simulating fur and foliage, and it is rendered in a monochromatic color palette of various shades of grey to convey light and shadow effectively.
