About this work
A large elephant stands at right, facing left, partially outlined against an oval area of light. In the shadows, at the lower left, stands a group of four men, one holding up an open book, another a collar of bells. Printed by Francois Liénard, in the French magazine “L’Art,” 1877, Vol. II, p. 40. Prepared in ca. 1815 for the Los Proverbios (Proverbs) series but not printed/published until later.
