Allegorical title page with the writer Jean de La Fontaine and its muse, Bernard Picart (workshop or), 1721 Canvas Print

The writer Jean de La Fontaine writes in a book and is accompanied by his muse. A putto brings him a nap of water from the Hippocrene, the river on Mount Helicon and the source of poetic inspiration. He looks at the Greek fable writer Aesop who points to the sky where on a cloud there is Truth and Fable. Above them a canvas on which various fables are depicted. In the margin a five-line caption in French.
