Renard Plays Another Trick on the She-Wolf from Hendrick van Alcmar's Renard The Fox 1650 - 1675

This etching by Allart van Everdingen, titled "Renard Plays Another Trick on the She-Wolf" from "Renard The Fox", depicts a scene from the medieval French fable, "Roman de Renart". The print, created between 1650-1675, shows a she-wolf peering into a well, seemingly tricked by the cunning fox, Renard. Everdingen’s detailed composition, featuring a picturesque landscape with a church tower, a well, and a horse-drawn cart, showcases his masterful use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The etching, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the popularity of this particular fable in the 17th century.
