A fox portrait in straw marquetry — the coat is rendered through the orientation of the strands, which catch the light much like real fur. The tawny and amber tones alternate with darker shades to bring depth and character to its gaze.
The name *Goupil* is the Old French word for fox, popularized by the *Roman de Renart* (Reynard the Fox). A nod to the animal's cunning as well as to the precision of the marquetry craft.
MDF panel base and custom-made MDF frame.
