"James V of Scotland attacked by a stag while hunting" is a small, anonymous etching depicting a dramatic scene of a hunting accident. The print, measuring just 86 mm by 118 mm, shows a stag attacking a mounted figure, likely King James V, surrounded by panicked hunters. The scene is rendered in a dark, somewhat stylized manner, typical of etchings of the period. It likely dates from before 1881, and provides a glimpse into the popular imagery surrounding the historical events of Scotland.
