The Two Dogs and the Riffler Fox
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by Grandville, created in 1868. This intriguing artwork depicts an allegorical scene that tells a story through its intricate details. In the foreground, two dogs stand tall and vigilant, representing loyalty and bravery. Their expressions exude determination as they confront their cunning adversary. The focus of this composition is the riffler fox, portrayed with mischievous eyes and a sly smile. The fox symbolizes deceit and trickery, embodying the characteristics of a bandit. It holds a walking stick or cane, perhaps suggesting its ability to manipulate situations to its advantage. Grandville's attention to detail shines through in this print; every stroke of his engraving tool brings life to each character. The contrasting emotions displayed by the dogs and the fox create tension within the narrative, leaving viewers intrigued about what will unfold next. This particular print captures all these elements beautifully while preserving Grandville's original work from 1868. As we gaze upon it today, we can appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also how timeless themes such as loyalty versus deception continue to resonate with us across generations.
