Le renard et les poulets d'Inde (The Fox and the Hens from India)

Jean-Baptiste Oudry, published 1759

This image shows a brown fox and turkeys near a rustic house. The fox is looking at turkeys perched on tree branches. The setting includes a wooden fence, an old stone building with a red roof, and a full moon in the sky. Two turkeys are on the ground near the fox. The painting style resembles the detailed illustrations of the 18th century, similar to Jean-Baptiste Oudry's work.
