An original French 19th-century watercolor painting of a stag hunting scene.
A beautifully executed wide-format frieze in watercolor and graphite on Canson & Montgolfier Vidalon paper. This is a likely a design for a wall tapestry or ornamental frieze. Dating from the 19th century, the design is in the style of Flemish tapestries of the 16th century. It depicts a lively stag hunting scene, populated with courtly huntsmen and hounds in a forested estate setting. The artist brings a lightness of touch and elegance of palette evocative of French 18th-century decorative taste.
The drawing is unsigned but the quality indicates that it is the work of a professional artist.
