Eight Point Stag

Description

A large stag stands alert at the edge of a lake, its antlers rising clearly against the pale sky. Reeds and low plants surround the animal, while forested land and distant hills border the water. The upright deer commands the foreground. In “An eight-point stag stands alert beside a quiet lake,” the details of branching antlers and reeds and water give the scene a specific character. The emphasis shifts from branching antlers to reeds and water across the scene.
