The artwork, dating back to circa 1880 and originating from Pont-a-Mousson, is a true gem in this private collection. The image depicts the timeless fable of "The Cigale and the Ant" beautifully brought to life through anthropomorphism. In this enchanting scene, we witness an intricate portrayal of two insects: the hardworking ant and the carefree cicada. Through their expressive features, we can almost hear the cicada's melodious song echoing in our ears while observing its relaxed posture. On the other hand, the diligent ant appears focused on gathering provisions for winter, showcasing its industrious nature. This illustration not only captures these insect characters but also pays homage to La Fontaine's literary masterpiece that has captivated readers for centuries.
