About this work

Lambert Doomer drew the head of this buck, recognizable from the tuft of hair on its chin and characteristic ribbed horns, with loose, fanciful pen lines. The horns – curving back and with slightly turned up tips – can grow up to a metre long. The Amsterdam artist made various sketches of this animal, which then served as models for the goats in his paintings.
