The Horse and the Stag

Allart van Everdingen

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a scene with animals and a person. The view is slightly elevated, showing trees and foliage blocking most of the horizon. There are sheep, goats, and a horse near us, with a person wearing a hat holding the horse's reins. The animals and details are depicted with fine lines. Deer can be seen in the distance among sparse trees. The trees extend across the scene, with light foliage against the sky. The color palette is monochrome with black and white creating contrast.
