This painting shows a battle between birds and animals. The illustration is from a fairy tale called "The Wren and the Bear". It was made for a special edition of fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm. The artist used simple shapes to create the scene, which is different from his usual detailed style. Check out the work of artist: Arthur Rackham (British, 1867–1939)
