The Stag in the Ox-stall, The Deer and the Lion 1908

"The Stag in the Ox-stall, The Deer and the Lion" is an illustration by Walter Crane from 1908. The illustration is characteristic of his style, using bold lines and flat colors with a focus on decorative elements. It appears to be from a children's book, depicting a scene from a fable about a stag seeking refuge in an ox-stall. The image showcases the artist's skill in depicting both a sense of vulnerability in the stag as well as a predatory nature in the lion. This piece, with its simple yet engaging narrative, is representative of Crane's work in children's illustration.
