"Staand hert" is a detailed engraving by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, dating from 1565 to 1630. The print depicts a stag standing on a rocky terrain, its antlers reaching out towards the viewer. Tempesta was known for his precise and realistic depictions of animals, and this print is a testament to his mastery of the engraving technique. Currently, the print is in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
