Detailed Description
A large, light-colored deer with prominent, multi-tined antlers stands on a rocky, uneven slope, rendered in ink and light colors on a light background. The deer, positioned in the central foreground, faces towards the right, its head turned slightly forward, and its gaze directed to the right. Its body is subtly spotted with lighter dots. Its front left leg is slightly lifted. The upper portion features branches of a gnarled, grey tree extending from the left, adorned with numerous bright red maple leaves and a few lighter, possibly yellow-green, leaves. The background is a soft, misty grey. Below the deer, the slope is detailed with dark grey rock formations, patches of light brown grass, and small clusters of blue-green foliage. Several individual red maple leaves are depicted falling or resting on the ground around the deer and along a winding path or stream bed that descends towards the lower right. In the bottom left corner, there is a block of vertical calligraphy in black ink, accompanied by a square red seal.
