This print by Hungarian artist Imre Reiner depicts a scene from Aristophanes's play "The Frogs." It is a woodcut print, showing an expressive style, and its subject is a devil-like figure playing a musical instrument, while a frog watches on. The print has a dynamic composition that creates depth and movement, and the woodcut technique contributes to a textured feel. The work was likely created in the 20th century and demonstrates Reiner's distinctive graphic style, which was frequently applied to illustrations of literary works. The play itself is a humorous take on ancient Greece's cultural values, and Reiner's print captures the comedic and playful spirit of the original work.
