Renard à l'affût is a 1851 ink by Karl Bodmer, a Romanticism work, depicting Hunting, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a fox waiting in a forest. It's an interesting work because the artist used simple lines and shapes to create a sense of movement. The fox is also shown in a very natural setting, which was a common theme in art at that time. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: lithography.
Johann Carl Bodmer (11 February 1809 – 30 October 1893) was a Swiss-French printmaker, etcher, lithographer, zinc engraver, draughtsman, painter, illustrator, and hunter.
