Deer Hunt (La chasse au cerf) is a 1853 ink by Charles Émile Jacque, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a dark forest at dusk, with thick trees blocking most of the light. In the lower half, a group of deer moves through the shadows near a river. The sky is faint, almost erased, while the water has quick, sketchy lines. The artist used a rough, scratchy style to show movement and mood. This was made in 1853 using a method that lets you draw directly onto stone. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
