Underneath the shelter of a large tree in winter, one fox rejoins what is likely its mate with a bird in hand—perhaps a grouse. Underneath the paws of the other fox appears to be a rabbit...a good day of hunting! Palmer’s somewhat implausible scenario is created in the service of closely observed details in physiognomy, texture, and posture. Perhaps most striking of all is the action, frozen in mid-gesture, where the foxes glare at viewers interrupting them.
