In a letter written in 1866, Courbet explained that he had borrowed some deer from a Paris butcher to serve as models.
His tricks of the trade notwithstanding, Courbet's originality is evident in his economical and confident brushwork, which, in tandem with his use of a palette knife, suggest delicate textures, like grass or leaves, and rough ones, like stone strata.
With Courbet's "art for art's sake" emphasis on paint per se, works like Roe Deer at a Stream inspired several generations of modern landscape artists, from Cézanne to Picasso and Matisse.

When this painting was shown in the Salon of 1866, critics censured Courbet's "lack of taste" as well as his model's "ungainly" pose and "disheveled hair." Clearly, Courbet's woman was perceived as provocative.
The picture, however, was admired by contemporary artists: Cézanne seems to have carried a small photograph of it in his wallet, and in 1866 Manet began his version of the subject, "Young Lady in 1866 (Woman with a Parrot)" (MMA, 89.21.3).
