Original fileHirsch
A side-profile depiction of a stag with a fully developed set of antlers, rendered in an etching style with hatched lines for shading and texture. The animal is standing on a gentle incline, head lowered toward the grass, set against a background of sparse trees and rolling hills. The sky is indicated with simple, horizontal sweeping lines in the upper right corner.
This image is a plate from Robert Fludd's encyclopedic work 'Utriusque Cosmi Maioris scilicet et Minoris metaphysica, physica atque technica historia', which explores the connection between the macrocosm (universe) and microcosm (human). It appears within the sections detailing natural history and the characteristics of the created world.
