Hunters pursuing deer at night

A night scene painted on paper within a blue and orange floral border. Two hunters stand on a rocky path in the foreground, one with a bow and turban, the other in green holding a light. Beyond them, a crouching figure and deer rest near a moonlit lake and distant hills, in muted color with touches of gold.
