About the artwork
This photo shows a fallow deer with her young on a quiet forest path. Fallow deer (Dama dama) are found in large parts of Europe and are at home in forests, parks and dune landscapes. They are medium-sized deer, recognisable by their mottled summer coat and the wide, flat antlers of the males. Females, as pictured here, do not wear antlers.
The young - often called calves - are usually born in late May or in June. In the first weeks, they spend a lot of time hiding in high grass or among bushes to avoid predators. The mother then visits her calf regularly to suckle it. Only later does the calf join the group more often. The calf in the photo stays close to its mother, something typical for this stage of life: safety and security are paramount.
Fallow deer often live in packs, the composition of which depends on the season. In summer, females move together with their young, while males stay in smaller groups. In autumn, the rut takes place: this is when the males let out their characteristic call and fight over the females with their antlers.
The scene in this photo - mother and young together on a dark forest path with light mist in the background - captures a special and vulnerable moment in these animals' lives. It not only shows the beauty of nature, but also reminds us how important peace and quiet and habitat are for wildlife in our landscape.
