 The following image seems to be the only image that has some sort of unity to it. Each image in this particular cave was placed to maybe have some sort of individual meaning behind it. This image is titled, "Frieze of the Small Stags," and it consists of  two large opposed aurochs and beneath the brown horse, there is a group of five small stags. As described on the Lascaux website, The figures display a certain graphic unity, through the parallelism of the legs, the line of the neck and back, and the use of a short line, parallel to the line of the neck, to connect the forequarters to the body. There is also symmetry in the animation of the figures, and the yellow and black stag is the central figure of the group. It is the most accomplished, in particular the depiction of the extremities of the legs, which are shown with the hooves and dewclaw. Shading, from yellow to black, is used to show the variation of the fur at the neck. The details in this image stands out to me more than the others. The use of multiple painting techniques were illustrated beautifully.
