description: Courbet was an avid hunter and painted such works as Roe Deer at a Stream—in which he seems to approach the deer, his quarry unobserved—to appeal to patrons who shared his sporting interests. By depicting such swift and skittish creatures he also demonstrated his ability to make lightning-fast observations and renditions. In this respect, Courbet was challenging the efforts of his many talented young admirers—including Manet, Degas, Monet, and Renoir—who, in the 1860s, were already determined to depict the fast pace of modern life on Paris streets or at the racetrack.
