Reynard and the Crows

Allart van Everdingen

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a rural landscape with a low horizon line. A church spire is visible in the distance above trees. Two birds are flying in the air. The brushstrokes show detailed textures in the birds' feathers and tree foliage. The color palette is monochromatic with shades of brown and black. A carcass is on the ground, and a cart is visible in the distance. Clouds are portrayed in the background.
