Between 1729 and 1734, Jean-Baptiste Oudry produced a series of drawings intended to illustrate La Fontaine’s Fables.
In 1751, these drawings were acquired by Charles-Philippe Monthenault d’Égly, who undertook their publication in the form of illustrated editions.
The compositions were redrawn for engraving by Charles-Nicolas Cochin.
This period drawing is clearly based on the engraving by C.-N. Cochin.
