| Description: | A brown doe stands in a bright clearing at the center, to the left of a stream, in the midst of a forest. The forest completely fills the painting; we see only the bottommost branches of the nearby trees. Behind the doe are the trunks of two immense broadleaf trees; beyond the doe are two more; to the right of the stream stand several white-barked trees. The stream flows around a point at the right center, past two boulders, and toward the viewer, filling the front center and right edge of the painting. A thin trunk with a few leaves sprawls across the center between the large trees, above the doe. The painting is mostly in greens, greys, and whites, with spots of brown here and there.
