The artwork depicts the fable titled "The Bear and the Two Companions" from Collection 1, Book 5, Fable 20. In this enchanting scene, we see a bear accompanied by two companions - possibly humans or other animals. The intricate details of the engraving bring to life the essence of French literature and poetry that La Fontaine's fables are renowned for. The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to the artwork, transporting us back to the seventeenth century when these tales were first penned. The presence of wildlife is prominent throughout this piece, with bears being at the center stage. The young bears exude both curiosity and innocence as they interact with their companions amidst a picturesque campaign setting.
