Fawn in the snow in the woods 1865 - 1877

Gustave Courbet's "Fawn in the Snow in the Woods" (1865-1877) is a realist depiction of a winter landscape, characterized by its meticulous rendering of snow-covered terrain and a solitary fawn standing in the foreground. The painting showcases Courbet's mastery of capturing the natural world with an emphasis on detail and a subdued palette of browns, grays, and whites, creating a sense of quietude and solitude. The subject of the fawn, a symbol of innocence and vulnerability, adds an emotional dimension to the scene, suggesting a sense of harmony between nature and its inhabitants.
