With its intricate woodcut design and black-and-white palette, this print exudes a sense of nostalgia and transports us to a bygone era. In this allegory painting, we witness a group of frogs gathered around a serene pond.

The artist masterfully depicts each frog with remarkable detail, showcasing Dore's skillful craftsmanship. Jean de La Fontaine's timeless fable comes alive through this engraved image created in the 19th century. It invites us to delve into an ancient world where animals possess human-like qualities and teach valuable life lessons. Through his artistry, Gustave Dore effortlessly blends fantasy with reality as he explores themes of relaxation and resting within nature. This antique print serves as a testament to the enduring power of literature and art. Its old-fashioned charm reminds us that even in our fast-paced modern lives, there is still solace to be found in revisiting past tales and embracing moments of tranquility amidst the chaos. Whether displayed on your wall or cherished as part of your collection, this print offers an escape into history while celebrating the beauty found within both nature itself and artistic expression.
