About this work

This image shows a serene landscape with deer under trees. The scene is depicted in a pen-and-tusche lithograph, with a focus on the natural world. In the foreground, deer are shown grazing under the shade of trees, while the background features a vast expanse of rolling hills and distant trees. The overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and harmony with nature. The artist's use of lithography creates a sense of depth and texture, adding to the overall sense of realism.
