Their coats are smooth and stippled, evoking the lightness of summer pelage, while their richly coloured antlers, still in velvet, curve upward like living branches. The artist emphasizes movement and strength through their poised legs and elongated necks, suggesting alertness and momentum. These are not passive animals; they are seasonal beings caught mid-stride in the full dignity of migration.
