This 1910 illustration by Bernard Willem Wierink depicts a scene from the Dutch medieval fable "Reynard the Fox" or *Reinaert* in Dutch. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, shows Reynard the fox (Vos) being led before the lion (Nobel), the king of the animals, while other animals look on. The illustration, a combination of stylized forms and realistic details, is characteristic of Wierink's artistic style and his use of woodcuts and engravings to create intricate, detailed works. The scene evokes the power dynamics and cunning of the characters, drawing the viewer into the dramatic world of the fable.
