Deer Hunt (La chasse au cerf)

Charles Émile Jacque

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a body of water with a dark, wooded area under a transitioning sky. Trees create a low skyline. The lithograph technique produces fine brushstrokes for a textured effect. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of black and grey creating contrasts and forms in the scene. There are faint animal forms, possibly horses, in the distance.
