To Pity Moved
All Resolutions
Description:
Reynard is on a ladder about to be hanged. A cat sits on the tree trunk, securing the noose to a branch as below a crowd has gathered to witness the ceremony. Among them, the King and the Queen look particularly moved and grief-stricken.
The caption reads in the original German: Viele jammerte das.
