Herten in een weide en herten die over boomstammen springen 1874

This collection of three sketches by Johannes Antonius Canta, created in 1874, depicts various studies of deer. The upper sketch, rendered in ink, portrays a group of deer in a landscape with a distinct sky and clouds. The middle sketch, also in ink, focuses on a deer in a mountainous setting, while the bottom sketch features a deer leaping over a log. Canta's works are known for their detailed anatomical representations of animals, particularly those found in the natural world. These sketches showcase his keen observation and mastery of line, providing insights into his artistic process and his interest in the subject of wildlife.
