Four bucks stand atop a hillside, their piercing gaze directed toward the viewer. The animals are almost silhouettes against the snow-covered landscape, with the intricacies of their antlers highlighted by deep shadows. In the distance, a misty haze covers the rolling hills and trees, while the sky above is a veil of white. The soft gold and orange tones of the vegetation provide the only dashes of color, adding a touch of warmth to an otherwise chilly scene.
