Schets voor het Titelblad: Van den Vos Reinaerde, De bijeenkomst der dieren voor Koning Nobel 1866 - 1939

This pencil sketch by Dutch artist Bernard Willem Wierink, created between 1866 and 1939, is a preliminary design for the title page of *Van den Vos Reinaerde*. The artwork depicts a scene from the medieval Dutch epic poem, likely showing the gathering of animals in front of King Nobel. The composition is a study in light and shadow, with delicate lines suggesting figures and a sense of depth. The sketch is a testament to Wierink's meticulous approach to art and provides a glimpse into his creative process. It is housed in the Rijksmuseum, a renowned institution in Amsterdam.
