Original Graphite Pencil Drawing of a Resting Fawn

This item is an original work of art on paper, specifically a graphite pencil sketch of a young white-tailed deer or fawn in a resting, curled position. The drawing is executed on a rectangular piece of off-white or light cream sketching paper. The artwork features fine line work and shading to create texture on the animal's hide, including subtle indications of spots on the back and the soft contours of the face and ears. To the right of the deer, simple vertical strokes represent blades of grass, providing a minimal environmental context. In the upper left corner, there is a clear handwritten signature that appears to read 'Brittany' followed by the date '2024'. The physical condition of the piece is described as new and clean, with the paper displaying a slightly rough edge on the left side, typical of being removed from a spiral-bound sketchbook. There are no visible stains, creases, or fading. The style is contemporary realism, showcasing a hobbyist or early professional level of craftsmanship with a focus on naturalistic animal anatomy and delicate shading techniques.
