La Laitière et le Pot au Lait - Jean de La Fontaine Fable Illustration #1273227 (License: Personal Use)

This hand-drawn six-panel comic visually narrates Jean de La Fontaine’s 17th-century fable about a milkmaid who imagines selling her milk, buying eggs, raising chickens, trading them for a pig, then a cow-only to drop the pot and shatter her illusions. The artwork uses soft watercolor tones and expressive figures to convey the progression from hopeful daydreaming to sudden disappointment. Each panel advances the story with subtle humor and symbolic details like floating gold coins and startled animals.
