This black and white design for a book cover, created before 1910, features a stylized fox's head within a circular frame surrounded by text and a crown. This design was intended for a book about *Reinaert de Vos*, a medieval Dutch-language epic poem about a cunning fox. The design's stark lines and bold typography are characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, popular in the early 20th century. The artist is unknown. This drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
