Dear Yura,
According to the legends the earliest ancestor of the Fujiwara clan 藤原氏、Fujiwara no Kamatari　藤原鎌足　arrived to the Kasuga Shrine on the back of a deer. Therefore the picture depicts him.
Signature reads,
英一蝶書筆　-　Painted by Hanabusa Itchō

上　‐　Simply means "Top"
It might have been the first character a longer
inscription, but it was cut off.

With regards,
I.Nagy
