About this work

The painting shows a landscape with trees and deer. The trees are on the left and right sides of the painting, and the deer are in the middle. The deer are looking at each other. The painting is done in brown and white, with lots of lines and scratches. The painting looks like it was made with a special technique that makes it look like a sketch. The artist used a lot of lines and scratches to create texture and depth. The painting also has a lot of negative space, which makes it look simple and calm. This painting reminds me of the Impressionism movement.
