1662
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Reynard the Fox: The Lion's Court is a 1662 by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a group of animals gathered in a forest. A fox sits on a log, talking to a lion who’s perched on a rock. Other animals—like a rabbit and a deer—stand around, listening. Trees and bushes fill the background, and the sky has wispy clouds. The fox looks calm while the lion holds a scroll, maybe judging the animals. The artist used deep shadows and rough lines to show texture, like fur and leaves.
