The artwork depicts a scene from the medieval animal fable "Reynard the Fox," where Reynard, disguised as a monk, approaches the rooster Chanticleer and his family with a letter. Wierink's drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the moment with intricate detail and a whimsical style. The use of bright colors and stylized figures contribute to the work's charming and playful nature. This artwork is an excellent example of Wierink's mastery of illustration and his ability to bring medieval tales to life.
