An etching by Claude Gillot shows a fox attacking a hen, observed by a cat, rendered with fine, precise lines.
This etching by Claude Gillot (1673-1722) depicts a fox attacking a hen, observed by a cat. Gillot was a French painter, printmaker, and designer, known for his decorative and theatrical designs. He trained under Jean-Baptiste Corneille and was associated with the circle of Jean Bérain the Elder. Gillot's work often featured scenes from the commedia dell'arte and other theatrical performances, influencing later artists such as Antoine Watteau. The composition shows a fox with its jaws clamped around a hen, set against a backdrop of a crumbling stone wall and a bare tree. A cat watches the scene from the left, its tail raised. The image is rendered with fine, precise lines, typical of etching. The scene is full of movement and tension, capturing a moment of predatory action in a stylised manner. The use of line work creates a sense of depth and texture, particularly in the depiction of the animals' fur and feathers, as well as the rough surface of the stone wall.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
