The She-Wolf 

"The She-Wolf" is a wood engraving by renowned French artist Gustave Doré, known for his dramatic and detailed illustrations. This work depicts a scene from Virgil's *Aeneid*, where the she-wolf appears before the twin brothers Romulus and Remus, who were abandoned as infants. Doré uses chiaroscuro, a technique with strong contrasts of light and dark, to create a sense of mystery and foreboding in the nighttime setting. The she-wolf, partially obscured by foliage, symbolizes both danger and the protective instinct of nature, foreshadowing the twins’ future role in Roman mythology.
