De wolf en de hond 1876 - 1890

"De wolf en de hond," a lithograph by Gustave Fraipont, depicts a wolf and a dog meeting in a forest clearing. The work is an illustration for a Flemish fable of Jean de La Fontaine, showcasing a contrast between wildness and domestication. The image, created between 1876 and 1890, uses a mixture of delicate linework and rich color to bring the story to life. The scene, with the dog's collar and the wolf's wild stare, captures the essence of the fable's message.
