Deer

Antoine-Louis Barye

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture, titled "Deer" by Antoine-Louis Barye, depicts a standing deer with a dark green patina and visible copper tones. The deer is positioned on a rectangular base with a rough, rocky texture. The deer faces left and has its head slightly lowered. It has a prominent set of antlers extending upwards and outwards from its head. The sculpture shows the deer's front left leg and back right leg bearing its weight, while its back left leg and front right leg are slightly lifted. The sculpture appears to be made of bronze. The background is dark grey, transitioning to light grey at the bottom.
