About this work

You see a deer running left. Two dogs chase it fast. Trees and hills fill the background. The deer looks scared. This is an etching, not a painting. Etchings use acid to cut lines into metal plates. The artist then prints the image from those plates. Della Bella made this in 1646. Check out Della Bella, Stefano to compare his style.
