Reinaert staat voor koning Nobel 1866 - 1939

"Reinaert staat voor koning Nobel" (Reynard appears before King Noble), created between 1866 and 1939, is a watercolor and pencil drawing by Bernard Willem Wierink. The illustration depicts a scene from the medieval Dutch animal fable "Reynard the Fox," where Reynard, a cunning fox, is standing before King Noble, a lion, surrounded by his court. The scene is framed within an archway decorated with geometric patterns. This detailed illustration captures the vibrant storytelling and moralistic themes that have captivated audiences for centuries. This artwork is a prime example of Wierink's artistic style and his engagement with Dutch literary traditions. It is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
