The image is a black and white etching of two deer in a forested area. The viewpoint is slightly elevated, showing the deer from above in an enclosed forest with tall trees. The horizon is not visible, emphasizing the dense forest. The etching exhibits meticulous cross-hatching and fine lines defining the deer and foliage. The color palette is monochromatic, using shades of black, white, and grey. Detailed ferns and a cut tree stump accompany the deer in a natural setting. In the distance, tree trunks and branches create a rhythmic pattern.
