About this work

Here’s a revised description at 91 words: You see two small hunting scenes. A deer stands still in a forest clearing. In the other, two deer drink from a stream. These were probably painted as a pair for a wealthy home. Deer like this often meant wealth and nature in old art. Look at the soft light on the fur. It’s almost like the artist used smoky shading, called *sfumato*. Try searching for Leonardo da Vinci if you like this quiet style.
