Stag in the Water

Jacques Callot

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a stag standing in water, with a town in the distance. The stag has large antlers, and the background includes hills, a sky with birds, a tree with bare branches, and a rock near the water. The artwork uses fine, precise brushstrokes and a monochromatic color palette of blacks, grays, and cream.
