John Constable’s print shows a quiet moment in nature. A deer lies hurt while a man kneels close. Soft shadows and gentle light wrap the scene. This is one of 22 landscape prints Constable planned near the end of his life. He guided another artist, David Lucas, to shape the prints from his own paintings.
