"Shepherd Wolf" is a wood engraving by Gustave Doré, known for his dramatic illustrations, which often depict scenes from literature and mythology. The image depicts a wolf disguised as a shepherd, with a staff and a shepherd's crook, amidst a flock of sheep. The wolf's true nature is revealed by its wolfish features, and its tail, hidden beneath its cloak. The detail and texture of the engraving suggest the work is inspired by folklore, and the shepherd's disguise highlights themes of deception and disguise.
