This is a unique, one-of-a-kind work. The composition is built on a deep green background where the "field" is not merely painted, but physically etched into the wood. This scratching technique through the oil layers exposes the grain and creates a raw, tactile representation of the landscape.
The gazelle is captured in a front-facing posture, its gaze locked directly on the viewer. The contrast between the vibrant, textured green and the earthy tones of the figure emphasizes a state of alert. The materiality of the wood panel provides a rigid, weighted presence, making the work as much a physical object as a visual study of a moment of stillness.
