Media: Oil on canvas board
Size: 7.9x15.7 in
Inspired by Aesop's Fable "The Fox and the Grapes". There are several Greek versions as well as one in Latin by Phaedrus which is terse and to the point: "Driven by hunger, a fox tried to reach some grapes hanging high on the vine but was unable to, although he leaped with all his strength. As he went away, the fox remarked 'Oh, you aren't even ripe yet! I don't need any sour grapes.' People who speak disparagingly of things that they cannot attain would do well to apply this story to themselves." An original oil painting on the 7.9x15.7in (20x40cm) canvas board. Without frame.
