From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Reynard and the Crows is a 1650 ink by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, depicting Hunting, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a fox standing on its back legs with crows pecking at its tail. The fox looks calm, not scared. The crows seem bold, almost teasing. The artist used fine lines to show fur and feathers. The background is plain, so the scene feels staged like a play. Foxes were often symbols in old stories, but this one just looks funny.
