Preparatory drawing for an illustration in the book František Hrubín - Little book of fairytales. It belongs to the fairy tale About Smolíček, where it is accompanied by the story of how Smolíček ran to grandfather Mecháč and wanted golden antlers for the deer, which the deer dropped and was so ashamed that he could not go out without them.
