Painting of a white stag running through a dark forest as three women in flowing dresses watch from among the tree trunks.

The Mystic Wood

A white stag with branching antlers leaps through a dark forest while three women in long dresses watch from the trees. The loose, sketchy brushwork and warm earth tones give the scene a dreamlike, unfinished quality.

Español: El bosque místico, John William Waterhouse

Un ciervo blanco de cornamenta ramificada corre por un bosque oscuro mientras tres mujeres con vestidos largos observan desde entre los árboles. La pincelada suelta y los tonos terrosos cálidos dan a la escena una atmósfera onírica e inacabada.

Português: O bosque místico, John William Waterhouse

Um cervo branco de galhada ramificada corre por uma floresta escura enquanto três mulheres de vestidos longos observam entre as árvores. As pinceladas soltas e os tons terrosos quentes dão à cena um ar onírico e inacabado.
