The Doe is a 1628 ink by Jacques Callot, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a deer standing in a wooded area. The trees are tall with lots of branches and leaves, and the ground looks soft with grass and bushes. The deer is facing left, with its head slightly turned, and the whole scene feels quiet and natural. The artist used a technique called etching to create the lines, which gives it a smooth, detailed look. This style was popular in the 1600s. Look up etching to see how artists like Callot made these precise prints.
