There is a watercolour version of this image, but we are looking at a grisaille.
 

An Update

La Fontaine’s « Les Grenouilles qui demandent un roi » (“The Frogs who desired a King”)
I have updated a blog published on August 18, 2011.  It remains relevant, but at the time I wrote it, I did not know how to embed a video in a post.  So, it is now easier to read.

Bonjour, says Fido
In Quebec, things are currently quite peaceful, but not altogether.  At the moment, Québécois are preparing to celebrate la Saint-Jean-Baptiste, Quebec’s feast day and an equinoctial point.  There will be fireworks on Sherbrooke’s Lac-des-Nations.
