Label: THE DEATH OF THE STAG. / WHO will not feel pity for this noble stag, although he has come to such a / fate by the strict rules of fair and open "sport"? He raises his head in a / last appealing look of despair, and then, drawn down by dog and torrent, / the granite will beat out what little life remains to the exhausted frame. / This, though one of Landseer's early works, shows many signs of the highest skill / and power, being, in fact, quite one of his best pictures. It was exhibited at the Royal / Academy in 1833 under the title "Hounds in a Torrent," and was presented to the / nation in the Vernon Collection in 1847. At present it remains in the National Gallery, / under the title of "The Hunted Stag." We have not been able to find that it has / been elsewhere engraved. //
