Reynard Promises to Reveal the Hidden Treasure is a 1650 ink by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a fox, Reynard, standing on its hind legs, addressing a group of animals. The scene is set in a wooded area, with trees and foliage visible in the background. The fox appears to be speaking or gesturing to the other animals, who are gathered around it. The etching is rendered in fine detail, with intricate lines and textures that give the image a sense of depth and dimensionality. The use of shading and contrast adds to the overall sense of drama and tension in the scene.
