"La Famille de Cerf" is a notable work by Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, who is renowned for his detailed and evocative illustrations of the American frontier during the early 19th century. This particular piece, whose title translates to "The Deer Family" in English, is part of a larger body of work that resulted from Bodmer's travels in North America from 1832 to 1834, accompanying German explorer Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied. The expedition aimed to study the natural history and the indigenous peoples of the North American continent, particularly in the Upper Missouri River area.

Bodmer's role in the expedition was to document the journey visually, capturing the landscapes, wildlife, and Native American cultures they encountered. "La Famille de Cerf" reflects Bodmer's keen observational skills and his ability to render the natural world with precision and sensitivity. The artwork is characterized by its fine detail and the lifelike portrayal of the deer, set against a backdrop that is likely inspired by the untouched wilderness Bodmer witnessed during his travels.

The significance of "La Famille de Cerf," along with Bodmer's other works from the expedition, lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its historical and ethnographic importance. The illustrations provide a valuable record of a time and place that have since undergone profound changes. Bodmer's work is often compared to that of other artist-explorers of the period, such as George Catlin and John James Audubon, for its contribution to the visual history of 19th-century America.

Today, "La Famille de Cerf" is appreciated both as a piece of fine art and as a document of cultural and natural heritage. It is part of the collection of Bodmer's works held in various institutions, including the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska, and the Newberry Library in Chicago, which house many of the watercolors and prints resulting from the collaboration between Bodmer and Prince Maximilian.
