Vertical, rectangular artwork with a brown background and darker brown border. A thin gold line runs along the inner edge of the border. The artwork depicts a deer standing on a dirt path. The deer has a white underbelly, light brown fur on its back and sides, and darker brown spots along its back. It has two short, thin antlers on its head. Behind the deer to the left is a large pine tree, and there are green bushes and small hills around the deer and tree. Portions of the image appear to have a fabric texture.
