ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Le renard et les poulets d'Inde (The Fox and the Hens from India) is a 1759 ink by Pierre François Tardieu, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a scene with a fox, a tree, and several birds. The fox is positioned in the foreground, facing the tree, while the birds are perched on the branches or lying on the ground. The tree is situated in front of a building, which features a tower and a sloping roof. The sky above is visible, with the sun shining through the clouds. In the background, the building's architecture and the natural surroundings create a sense of depth and context for the scene. The presence of the fox and the birds suggests a narrative or symbolic meaning, but the exact interpretation is not immediately clear. This image is reminiscent of the work of artist Tardieu, Pierre François, who was known for his etchings and engravings.
Pierre François Tardieu (1759–1759) was an artist.
