19th-Century Hunting Still Life (Nature Morte) with Deer and Hunter’s Horn
Watercolor on paper, mounted
This 19th-century hunting still life (nature morte), executed in watercolor on paper, depicts a deer laid beneath a tree alongside a hunter’s horn and red cloth, traditional symbols of the European chase. The composition reflects the period’s Romantic fascination with nature, game, and aristocratic sporting culture, combining naturalistic detail with a quiet narrative drama. The fluid handling of watercolor and harmonious landscape setting suggest the hand of a trained artist working within the sporting and academic traditions of the era. The work is presented in an ornate period giltwood frame with carved scrolling decoration, enhancing its decorative impact and historical character.
