Fabel van de kameel en de drijvende stokken 1776

"Fabel van de kameel en de drijvende stokken" (1776) by Bertin is an etching that depicts a scene from Aesop's Fables. The image shows three men on a boat, one pointing towards a floating log in the water while another is trying to pull it into the boat. The scene is set against a backdrop of a stormy sea with dramatic clouds. This etching captures the spirit of the fable, illustrating the folly of relying on unreliable or fleeting support.
