Fabel van de wolf, de geit en het geitenjong 1758

Johann Heinrich Meil the Elder's 1758 etching, *Fabel van de wolf, de geit en het geitenjong*, depicts a wolf peering into a pen, likely meant to hold goats, as the caption suggests. This work, likely an illustration for a collection of fables, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the cunning nature of the wolf. The detailed depiction of the wolf's posture and facial expression, combined with the simple yet expressive background, creates a powerful visual narrative.
