"Deer—Sketch from Nature" is an 1857 oil on canvas painting by the British-born American artist Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait. The artwork, measuring 36 x 28 inches, is part of Tait's extensive oeuvre that focuses on American wildlife and rural scenes, reflecting the mid-19th century's growing interest in naturalism and the American wilderness.

Tait, born in 1819 in Liverpool, England, emigrated to the United States in 1850, where he became associated with the American art movement known as the Hudson River School. Although not formally a member, his work shares the School's fascination with nature and meticulous attention to detail. "Deer—Sketch from Nature" exemplifies Tait's commitment to portraying animals in their natural habitat, a subject that garnered him significant recognition during his lifetime.

In this painting, Tait captures a serene moment in the wilderness, likely inspired by his experiences in the Adirondack Mountains of New York, an area he frequently visited and sketched. The artwork presents a detailed and lifelike depiction of deer in a forest clearing, showcasing Tait's skill in rendering the textures of fur and foliage, as well as his ability to create a convincing sense of depth and atmosphere.

"Deer—Sketch from Nature" is notable for its contribution to the genre of animal painting in America and for its reflection of the period's cultural attitudes toward nature and wildlife. Tait's work is often celebrated for its educational value and its role in promoting conservationist views, preceding the formal establishment of the conservation movement in the United States.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be a subject of interest for scholars studying American art of the 19th century, as well as for those examining the intersections of art, nature, and culture during this transformative period in American history.
