The story
Reginald spent three hours arranging his certificate of humility to ensure it appeared accidentally prominent. He adjusted the waistcoat for the seventh time, convinced the buttons were too ostentatious for a creature of his modest stature. When the guest arrived, Reginald cleared his throat with a sound like a wet sponge and explained, at great length, how unremarkable it was to be the most decorated frog in the valley. He paused to sip tea from a thimble, hoping his silence would convey his profound lack of pride. The guest left without speaking, and Reginald felt a quiet, triumphant satisfaction in his own understated victory.
The brief
A small green tree frog sits on a polished mahogany side table in a dimly lit sitting room. It wears a tiny, ill-fitting blue velvet waistcoat and holds a silver-framed certificate of modesty. The light falls from a single window, casting a pale yellow glow over dust motes and an ornate gold mirror.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
