From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Une biche is a 1851 ink by Karl Bodmer, a Romanticism work, depicting Deer, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a deer in a natural setting. It's an etching, which is a technique where the artist scratches a design onto a metal plate. The artist likely chose this method for its ability to create detailed lines and textures, like the deer's fur and the trees in the background.
