Ontwerp voor een penning (?) van gips met hert 1876 - 1947

This plaster relief, created by Dutch artist Lambertus Zijl between 1876 and 1947, depicts a deer in high relief. The circular form of the artwork, measuring 19 cm in diameter and 1 cm thick, suggests a design for a medal or plaque. The deer's realistic anatomy and detailed features, such as its antlers and hooves, are rendered with meticulous precision, showcasing Zijl's skill in capturing animal forms in a three-dimensional format. The simplicity of the design and the use of plaster as a medium suggest a focus on the inherent beauty and elegance of the animal subject.
