EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print depicts the classic tale of "The Town Mouse and The Country Mouse" by Jean de La Fontaine, a renowned French fabulist from the 17th century. The story, which is part of La Fontaine's collection of fables, illustrates the contrasting lifestyles and values of town and country mice. In this charming image, we see the country mouse, with his simple and unsophisticated appearance, sitting on the edge of a large city, looking back at his humble home in the countryside with a thoughtful expression. The town mouse, dressed in finery and holding a wine glass, can be seen in the background, enjoying the bustling city life. The country mouse, having visited his town cousin, has come to the realization that his simple and peaceful life in the countryside is more suited to his nature. He values the safety and security of his home, the fresh air and the simple pleasures of rural life. The town mouse, on the other hand, with all its glamour and excitement, holds little appeal for him. This print is a beautiful representation of the timeless wisdom of La Fontaine's fable, which reminds us that sometimes, the grass may not always be greener on the other side, and that it's essential to appreciate and value the simple pleasures of our own lives. The intricate details of the print, from the textures of the mice's fur to the delicate flowers in the foreground, make it a delightful addition to any home or office, and a conversation starter for visitors.
