"Common or Virginia Deer" is a notable illustration by John James Audubon, a French-American naturalist, ornithologist, and painter, renowned for his detailed and dramatic representations of American wildlife, particularly birds. This artwork is part of his lesser-known collection of mammal illustrations, which complements his seminal work, "The Birds of America." Audubon's depiction of the Virginia Deer, also known as the White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus), is characterized by his meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to portraying animals in their natural habitats.

The illustration of the Common or Virginia Deer is featured in Audubon's work "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America," which he produced in collaboration with his sons, John Woodhouse Audubon and Victor Gifford Audubon, and his friend, the Reverend John Bachman. This work was an ambitious project that aimed to document the mammals of North America in a similar fashion to his bird folios. The collection was published between 1845 and 1848 and represents one of the earliest comprehensive studies of American mammals, providing valuable insights into 19th-century natural history and art.

In the "Common or Virginia Deer" illustration, Audubon captures the grace and beauty of this widespread North American species. The artwork typically features the deer in a lifelike pose within a richly detailed landscape, showcasing Audubon's skill in rendering both the animal's anatomy and its environment with scientific accuracy and artistic flair. The Virginia Deer was a significant subject for Audubon, as it was a common and iconic species in the American wilderness, and its portrayal reflects the artist's profound respect for the natural world.

As with many of Audubon's works, the "Common or Virginia Deer" illustration is highly valued by collectors and is considered an important piece in the history of American art and natural history illustration. It continues to be studied and admired for its combination of artistic beauty and scientific observation, and it contributes to the enduring legacy of John James Audubon as one of America's foremost wildlife artists.
