Description
A fox spies on another who comes out of an arched door opening beneath a tree with two vases in his arms, one of which is filled 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.
