This illustration by Danish artist Vilhelm Kyhn, created in 1838, depicts a fox lurking outside a coop filled with geese. The detailed pen and ink drawing, likely for the book "Fabler for Børn" (Fables for Children), showcases Kyhn's talent for capturing animal expressions and creating a sense of narrative tension. This small-scale artwork, measuring 88 mm by 110 mm, is a fine example of Kyhn's illustrative work, which often featured whimsical animal tales. The simple yet expressive lines emphasize the fox's cunning and the geese's vulnerability, engaging viewers of all ages.
