Description: The head of a hart is sticking out from a cluster of leaves. In the distance, a man is standing with a bow in his hands. The positon of the man's hands and the absence of an arrow in his hand suggests that he has just shot the arrow at the hart. There seems to be an arrow sticking out from the side of the hart's mouth.
