Fox in the Snow
Fox in the Snow is an 1860 oil painting by the French artist Gustave Courbet. It depicts a fox in winter in the process of savaging a rodent it has caught. This offers a striking contrast of colours between the fox's coat, red blood and white snow. The painting was displayed at the Salon of 1861 in Paris. Today it is in the Dallas Museum of Art] in Texas. The painting was a likely influence on The Dead Fox, a painting by future impressionist Edgar Degas.
