Lambert Doomer drew the head of this buck, recognizable from the tuft of hair on its chin and characteristic ribbed horns, with loose, fanciful pen lines. The horns – curving back and with slightly turned up tips – can grow up to a metre long. The Amsterdam artist made various sketches of this animal, which then served as models for the goats in his paintings.
