The tortoise and the two birds
Gouache on paper, representing a famous episode from the fables of Kalila wa Dimna, when two birds offer to take a tortoise with them, making him promise not to speak during the journey. The crowd on the ground is ecstatic, and the proud tortoise wants to answer them. He falls and dies.
