Brief Description
A standing deer with antlers, head turned back, looking down, next to bamboo on a pale ground
Detailed Description
A vertical composition shows a single deer standing on a plain, light tan background. The deer is positioned slightly to the right of the center, facing towards the right, but its head is sharply turned back to the left, looking downwards. It has prominent, multi-pronged antlers that curve upwards and outwards. The deer's fur is depicted in shades of light brown and grey, with a lighter, almost white, underside on its chest and belly. Its eyes are round and dark, and its muzzle is pointed. Its four slender legs end in dark hooves. To the lower left of the deer, a cluster of dark green or black bamboo leaves and thin stalks emerges from the bottom edge of the composition. In the very bottom left corner, there is a vertical column of dark calligraphic text, accompanied by a square red seal below it. The deer and bamboo are the only elements depicted against the plain background.
