Illustration Friday - Vanity

The Fox and the Crow © Frances Cony

 

Years ago for Oxford University Press, I illustrated the fable The Fox and the Crow.  This is a quick sketchy reinterpretation.  The fox keeps praising the crow, and asking to hear the beautiful voice it must have in order for the crow to open its mouth, and thereby drop the cheese it was holding.  The crow's vanity gets the better of it.
