The image depicts a stylized scene viewed from the side, showing a chase involving a stag being pursued by dogs. The animals and trees are illustrated in pink tones with detailed line work. The background features a row of trees with precise brushstrokes, set against a vibrant yellow backdrop. Smaller trees and foliage in the distance suggest depth in the composition.
