About this work

This black and white engraved print shows a large bird with spread wings and a hooked beak, carrying a human figure among clouds above a rocky landscape. In the foreground a long-legged crane bends its neck toward the water among reeds, while small figures appear near the lower left. The print is by François Chauveau and is catalogued as part of his illustrations for La Fontaine's Fables.
