EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Jean-Baptiste Oudry that depicts a famous fable from Aesop's collection. In this enchanting artwork, measuring 120x78 cm, Oudry skillfully captures the essence of the story through his masterful brushstrokes. The scene unfolds in a lush landscape where a cunning fox and an elegant stork are engaged in an intriguing dining experience.
