Stag and Its Young 1820 - 1873

"Stag and Its Young" is a brown ink and wash drawing on paper created between 1820 and 1873 by the renowned British artist Edwin Henry Landseer. This intimate depiction of a stag and its fawns is a fine example of Landseer's mastery of animal portraiture, his ability to capture the grace and beauty of nature in a quick and expressive manner. The drawing, now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a testament to Landseer's enduring fascination with wildlife and his ability to translate their essence onto paper.
