Hjorte i en skov is a 1807 oil by Elias Meyer, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
The painting depicts a serene forest scene, with a group of deer standing in the center. The deer are surrounded by trees, with one large tree on the right side of the painting and several smaller trees on the left. In the background, the forest stretches out, with more trees and foliage visible. The painting is rendered in muted colors, with shades of brown and green dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of calmness and tranquility, with the deer appearing peaceful and content in their forest surroundings. The painting is a beautiful example of landscape art, and it is held at the Statens Museum for Kunst.
Elias Meyer (1763–1809) was an artist, born in Copenhagen.
