Wolf verleidt geiten c. 1563 - 1583

"Wolf verleidt geiten" (Wolf Tempts Goats) is a 16th century woodcut by Conrad Saldörffer. The artwork depicts a wolf, standing with its front paws on the ground while looking to the left, playing a bagpipe for a group of goats and sheep that are listening intently. The artwork is full of details like the castle in the background, the trees and the lush foliage. It highlights the artist's skill in capturing the essence of the German proverb, "The wolf will always be a wolf, even if he plays the flute."
