Thomas Bewick's wood engraving "Fable: The Envious Man and the Covetous" depicts a scene of a man reaching out to touch a figure in the sky, while another man behind him, with his hand to his head, looks on with a sense of envy. The engraving is framed with an oval border and is a fine example of Bewick's intricate and detailed wood engraving style. The work is housed at the Art Institute of Chicago and is a powerful representation of human emotions.
