The Badger Imposes a Penance on Reynard

Allart van Everdingen

National Gallery of Art

The image features a pastoral scene in an etching style. Two foxes are in the foreground, one standing and the other leaping. A stream runs across the scene, with two boats and figures visible. In the background, trees, clouds, a thatched house, a bridge, and a chapel are depicted. The image is rendered in black and white with detailed lines, typical of engravings.
