Maternal Solicitude by Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait: A painting of a deer and two fawns in a snowy landscape. The deer is standing and looking to the left, with one fawn lying on the ground to the right and another fawn standing to the left. A black bird with outstretched wings is on the left side. The background shows a snowy hill with trees, branches and sparse greenery. The deer and fawns have light brown fur with white spots on the fawns. The painting is done in a realistic style with attention to detail. The overall mood is serene with a focus on the interaction between the deer.
