Artist, American, 1916 - 1964

The sculpture depicts a leaping deer with front legs stretched forward and back legs extended behind, a raised tail, and antlers. It is rendered in a smooth, gray-toned material, possibly stone or metal. The surface texture shows details like the fur pattern. The sculpture is mounted on a horizontal post for side viewing to capture the motion and posture effectively.
