Sculptor, American, 1876 - 1973

The sculpture depicts two deer engaging playfully with one another. The dark metallic material gives it a deep brown color with a shiny finish. One deer stands on its hind legs while the other crouches low before it, suggesting movement and interaction. The texture of the sculpture captures the details of their fur and muscles. They are mounted on a base resembling rocky terrain.
