Renard, The Red Fox: An Original Detailed Etching - circa 1740

About the Item

This etching and engraving, titled "Renard," depicts a fox in a dynamic and alert posture. The artwork captures the fox's thick fur, bushy tail, and sharp features with exquisite detail. The fox's stance and expression suggest it is either startled or in a defensive mode, showcasing the animal's agility and alertness. The background includes subtle details of foliage, adding depth to the composition without detracting from the focus on the fox. This print exemplifies the artist's skill in rendering the lifelike texture and form of the animal. The animal depicted, commonly known as a fox, belongs to the genus *Vulpes*. Foxes are highly adaptable and are found in diverse habitats across the Northern Hemisphere, including forests, grasslands, mountains, and deserts. They are known for their cunning behavior and adaptability to various environments. The makers of the etching are Jacques-Philippe Le Bas and Jean Eric Rehn, based on the work of Jean-Baptiste Oudry. These artists collaborated to create detailed and elegant engravings of various animals.
