About this work

This print shows a fox lying low in tall grass, its body stretched out along the ground. The animal’s fur is marked with dark and light patches, and its head is raised slightly, ears alert. In the background, a faint line of trees and hills blurs into the distance. The artist used fine, textured lines to show the fox’s fur and grass, making it look almost three-dimensional. The word "FOX" is printed boldly at the bottom, like a label. Look up Romanticism next to see how artists used nature to spark big emotions.
