La Montagne qui accouche d'une souris (The Mountain and the mouse)

The subject of this drawing is "La montagne qui accouche d'une souris" literally translated : the Mountain gives birth of a mouse ,this expression dates backto the seventeenth century, it was made famous by a fable of Jean de la Fontaine. This metaphor compares the size of a mountain to an ambitious project that is expected to be much and for which we obtain a mouse, that is, something insignificant.
