AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Deer in the forest
Diego Perea
Technique: Gouache on paper
Signed in the lower right corner
Identification
1.1 Author
Diego Perea.
Author identified in the original technical data sheet attached to the back.
1.2 Technical and Support
Gouache on paper.
Work carried out with mastery of the opaque watercolor technique, combining glazes, light reserves, and layering to build atmospheric depth and the animal’s volume.
Mounted and framed with conservation-grade matting.
1.3 Measures
Artwork: 28 x 37 cm
Total dimensions with frame: proportional to the presented set (as shown in the images).
Wooden frame with a geometric molding and a green mat, in keeping with the hunting character of the scene.
ARTISTIC DESCRIPTION
2.1 Composition
The scene depicts a group of deer in an autumnal forest setting.
The main compositional axis is occupied by the large deer in motion, with powerful antlers, advancing with grace over uneven ground.
In the foreground, a second specimen lies slain, generating narrative tension and dramatic depth.
In the distance, among the trees, another animal is glimpsed in semi-darkness, reinforcing the sense of space and forest continuity.
2.2 Light Treatment
The work unfolds within a restricted color palette of ochres, grays, and sepias.
The light filters through the trunks, creating an atmospheric chiaroscuro of great subtlety.
The artist masters the contrast between the damp areas and the paper's reserved whites, achieving misty, damp effects characteristic of a wooded landscape.
2.3 Pictorial Language
The line work is loose yet precise in the anatomical drawings.
The antlers are rendered with a firm, structural line, while the foliage is built up with vibrant blotches and fragmented brushstrokes.
Anatomical knowledge and naturalistic sensitivity are appreciated.
Historical and Artistic Context
3.1 Thematic Tradition
Hunting and wildlife painting has a long tradition in the Spanish and European schools.
During the 20th century, numerous artists cultivated the hunting and nature scene from both a realistic and decorative perspective.

The monochrome treatment brings elegance and timelessness.
