This sketch shows a woman crouched in a forest, holding a bow and arrow aimed at a deer. Her clothes are loose and simple, blending into the dark trees around her. The deer stands still, its feathers detailed in quick strokes. The artist focused on the quiet moment before the hunt—no action, just stillness. The background is mostly shadows, letting the woman and deer stand out. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this sketch in person.
