Description
"Stag Lying Down" by Rosa Bonheur, a French artist renowned for her detailed animal studies, beautifully captures the quiet elegance of a resting stag. Created between 1875-1885, this exquisite drawing combines watercolor and gouache over graphite on cream vellum, showcasing Bonheur's mastery of texture, light, and naturalism. The piece reflects the romanticism of 19th-century France, immortalizing a serene moment in nature with meticulous precision. A black ink artist's succession stamp in the lower right corner authenticates this work, linking it to Bonheur’s legacy of celebrating wildlife through art.
