DescriptionA deer stands in a still stream that runs through a clearing in a forest. The stream moves down the middle of the painting and reflects the golden yellow light of the sun that breaks through the tree tops. Tall trees line both the right and left sides of the stream and all of their branches meet to enclose the scene.
