Italian Popular Tales by Thomas Frederick Crane (1885). There was once a huntsman, who, in passing a quarry, found a serpent under a large stone. The serpent asked the hunter to liberate him, but the latter said, “I will not free you, for you will eat me.”
This story comes from the town of Otranto in Apulia, on Italy’s eastern coast.
The artist captures this detail effortlessly, dressed in an Italian Leather jacket with shoes to match, the details of this exhibit are immaculate.
