A large, dark-patinated bronze or cast iron stag statue stands prominently on a light grey stone pedestal, silhouetted against an overcast sky at the Château de Mesnils in Mesnils-sur-Iton, France. The stag is depicted in a dynamic posture with its head raised, mouth open, and large, multi-tined antlers spread wide. Its front left leg is elevated. To the left of the statue, beyond a dark stone balustrade, a grassy area contains approximately fifteen pedestrians standing or walking. In the background, various stone buildings with pitched roofs are visible, interspersed with deciduous trees exhibiting sparse foliage typical of autumn or winter. A distinctive conical-roofed turret is visible to the right of the pedestrian area. A large, light-colored stone building facade occupies the far right edge of the frame. The sky is predominantly covered by light grey and white clouds, with a faint aircraft contrail present in the upper right. The scene is outdoors under diffused natural light.
