“The Wedding of Mrs. Fox” painting by Cory Benhatzel
for Cella Gallery’s Grimm Tales
There are two versions of this tale by The Brothers Grimm; in one, Mr. Fox feigns death to test his wife’s fidelity; in the other, he actually dies. Many suitors arrive. Mrs. Fox rejects them: in the first variant because while they are foxes they do not have the nine tails of her husband, and in the second, because they are wolves, bears, etc. and do not look like her dead husband.
One suitor arrives who does resemble him, and a wedding is held. If Mr. Fox feigned death, he arises and drives them out all.
The word for “tail” used has an obscene meaning to make her preference clear.
Pictured here by the artist is Mrs. Fox, a ghostly image of her husband and his skull, a pink rose signifying grace and a purple rose representing sorrow.
