Wherein was the treasure concealed, and stealthily take it away.

Description:

One fox observes another emerging from an arched doorway beneath a tree, the latter carrying two vases in his arms, one of which is filled with jewels.

The caption reads in the original German:

Meine Sorge ging nun dahin, den Ort zu entdecken,
Wo der Schatz sich befände, damit ich ihn heimlich entführte.

English caption source: Reynard the Fox, trans. by John Storer Cobb (Boston: Damrell & Upham, 1899).
