The Fable of Fox and Heron is an oil painting by Frans Snyders depicting the story from Aesop's Fable. It was created in Antwerp sometime between 1630 and 1640,[1] the painting is a composite of two stories, "The Fable of the Fox and Heron (or stork)" and "The Frogs who asked for a King".[2] In the painting, a fox sits on the river bank in the shade of twisting tree snuggled with vines. His spined curves with desire for the frogs in a long-necked bottle, the fox's coat of soft orange stands boldly against the dark washed brown dirt backdrop. The fox drools, open gapping pink mouth glaring at the reflective flask that two Heron's boastingly snack on. The figures are framed by the backdrop and do not cross the background line. The muted color palette of soft hues directs the viewers' eye to central scene.
