This image is an engraving titled "Stag Hunt near a Pool". It depicts a forest scene with trees, bushes, and a pool of water. In the foreground, a large tree with twisted branches dominates the scene. The background shows a forest with more trees and a few animals, possibly deer, in the distance. The engraving features detailed cross-hatching, which creates a sense of texture and depth. The artist's use of shading and contrast adds volume to the trees and gives the impression of a dense forest.
