La Remise des chevreuils en hiver is a 1866 oil by Gustave Courbet, a Realism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
This painting depicts a serene winter scene, with a deer standing in the center of a snow-covered forest. The deer faces right, while another one lies down on the left side of the image. The forest is dense, with trees and bushes surrounding the deer. The colors used are predominantly earthy tones, with shades of brown and green dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look. The overall atmosphere is peaceful, with the deer seemingly unaware of the viewer's presence. The painting's focus on the natural world and the use of earthy tones create a sense of calmness.
