About this work

This black-and-white print shows a fox standing on its hind legs, facing two dogs. The dogs look ready to pounce, their bodies tense. Behind them, a forest with trees and a small tower rises in the distance. The fox’s tail curls up, adding to its sly look. The artist used sharp lines to show fur and movement, making the scene feel alive. Check out Baroque for more dramatic art like this.
