"Wandkleed met springend hert tegen een achtergrond van bloeiende kastanjes" (Wall tapestry with a leaping deer against a background of flowering chestnuts) is a c. 1902-1909 tapestry by Willem Karel Rees. It depicts a leaping deer against a background of chestnut flowers and leaves, with a decorative border of flowering vines. The artwork is a beautiful example of the Arts and Crafts movement, which emphasized natural forms and traditional craftsmanship. It is a reminder of Rees's talent as a textile artist, and a beautiful example of his work.
