Cerfs au Gagnage

Karl Bodmer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woodland scene from a slightly elevated viewpoint. The composition features trees, undergrowth, and three deer: two standing with antlers and one resting. The style involves detailed brushstrokes capturing fur and foliage texture. The color palette includes various shades of brown and gray. Trees with dense canopies dominate the background, with the forest extending into softer, blurred tones.
