Rodolphe Bresdin's 1868 etching, "Titelprent met landschap en figuren uit fabels en verhalen in omlijsting met planten en slangen," is a stunning example of his intricate style. The artwork depicts a fantastical landscape with a mountain range and a multitude of figures, both human and animal, interacting within a frame of swirling vines and foliage.
