The Doe is a 1628 ink by Jacques Callot, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a doe standing in a landscape. The doe faces left, its head raised. It stands on a slight incline, with its front legs together and its back legs spread apart. The background features trees and bushes, with a body of water visible in the distance. The doe is rendered in fine detail, with visible texture in its fur. The landscape is more loosely sketched, with bold lines and minimal shading. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, with the doe appearing serene and at peace.
