Fox in the Snow

Fox in the Snow (French: Le Renard dans la neige) is an 1860 oil painting by the French artist Gustave Courbet.^[1] 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.^[2] Today it is in the Dallas Museum of Art] in Texas.^[3] The painting was a likely influence on The Dead Fox, a painting by future impressionist Edgar Degas .^[4]
