Original Graphite Pencil Sketch of a Doe and Fawn

This original graphite pencil drawing on white artist's paper features a naturalist depiction of a doe and her fawn standing within a sparse grassy field. The artwork showcases a representational style with fine linear work and cross-hatching used to create texture in the deer's fur and the surrounding vegetation. The doe stands alert, looking toward the right, while the smaller fawn is positioned to her left, mirroring the stance. In the upper right corner, the piece is signed 'Brittany' with the year '2026' inscribed beneath. The paper appears to be a medium weight with a slight grain, commonly found in standard sketchbooks. The condition is excellent and 'new,' showing no signs of yellowing, creases, foxing, or tears, which suggests it has been kept in a protected environment. The rendering exhibits charming folk-art qualities with careful attention to the anatomical proportions of the animals. Given the futurist date '2026', it may be a student work or a misdated contemporary piece. The craftsmanship reflects a dedicated hobbyist level, focusing on soft shading and delicate outlines to convey a sense of peaceful nature.
