The relief features a deer in mid-motion, its legs outstretched as if it is running or leaping through grass. It is made of a dark metallic material with a verdigris patina. The deer is depicted in profile, detailed with a focus on its muscular form and the texture of its fur, frozen in a dynamic and lively movement. It is set within a structured rectangular frame with ornate elements at the top corners, enhancing the overall classical appearance of the piece. The relief is flat and suggests it is meant to be viewed as a wall-mounted art piece.
