Herten in een bos 1846 - 1887

"Herten in een bos" ("Deer in a Forest"), a black and white print by Auguste André Lançon, is a realistic depiction of two deer in a woodland setting. The artist skillfully uses light and shadow to create a sense of depth and dimension, rendering the deer's bodies with intricate detail. This artwork reflects Lançon's interest in naturalism and animal studies, popular subjects in 19th-century art. The small scale of the print, measuring 118 mm by 158 mm, suggests it may have been intended for personal viewing or as part of a collection of prints.
