A European twentieth-century life-size garden sculpture of a deer, carved from walnut. The figure is rendered in a naturalistic manner with attention to the musculature and stance of the animal — the carved surface articulating the texture of the coat and the characteristic form of the deer in repose or alert posture. Walnut, with its density and tight grain, is well suited to outdoor sculptural work and develops a rich, darkened patina with age and exposure. The carving is executed with confidence and the proportions are true to scale, lending the piece significant presence in a garden or landscape setting. An unusual and striking example of European wood-carving craft, ideal as a garden focal point.
