EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 19th-century engraving captures the whimsical tale of "The Donkey and the Little Dog" from La Fontaine's Fables. Illustrated by JJ Granville and engraved by Franz Robert Richard Brend'Amour, this scene depicts a donkey and a little dog sitting at a table, with the donkey looking rather clumsy as he tries to balance on a chair.
The story behind this image is one of punishment and correction, as the donkey is being sanctioned for his clumsiness by having to sit at the table like a human. The little dog looks on in amusement, adding a touch of humor to the scene.
The intricate details in this engraving bring to life the characters and setting of this classic fable, transporting viewers back to a time when storytelling through art was highly valued. The delicate lines and shading create depth and texture, making each element of the composition stand out.
As you gaze upon this print, you can almost hear La Fontaine's words echoing through time, reminding us of timeless lessons about behavior and consequences. This piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a moral lesson wrapped up in one captivating image.
