Bruin bij Reinaert voor zijn hol 1866 - 1939

"Bruin bij Reinaert voor zijn hol" (1866-1939) is an illustration by Dutch artist Bernard Willem Wierink (1856-1939), currently held at the Rijksmuseum. The work is part of a series of illustrations that depict scenes from the popular medieval Dutch animal fable, "Reinaert de Vos" (Reynard the Fox). The artwork features a bear and a fox, seemingly engaged in dialogue, and is executed in a delicate, whimsical style, characteristic of the era's prevailing artistic movements. The ornate border of the artwork adds to its charm, enhancing the fairytale-like quality of the narrative depicted.
