Description
A young woman in a green kimono with pink under-sleeves and a blue floral hem stands feeding a group of six spotted deer, one antlered stag rearing up toward her raised hand while the others cluster and nuzzle around her. Muted grey tones dominate the background, where the faint outline of a pagoda-roofed building is visible through the mist. "Deer in Nara," a 1930 woodblock print by Shiro Kasamatsu.
