A Duck and a Stag [verso]

Paul Lacroix

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an uncolored illustration on aged paper featuring two distinct pencil sketches. One sketch of a deer is in the upper left corner, focusing on the animal's form and posture. In the upper right corner, there is a sketch of a duck near water with flowing lines suggesting ripples and hints of grass nearby. The scene appears open and expansive, with a faded beige background, enhancing the pencil sketches. The overall color palette is limited to shades of pencil grey against the warm tone of the paper.
