This etching by Allart van Everdingen, "The Wolf Accuses Renard Once Again," is a scene from "Renard the Fox", a 12th-century Dutch beast epic. The work depicts a wolf, Renard’s nemesis, accusing him in a Dutch landscape with a windmill in the background. The etching's details, like the figures ice-skating in the distance, contribute to its charm and provide insight into the Dutch life during that time. van Everdingen's work, known for its detailed landscape depictions, is a testament to the enduring popularity of "Renard the Fox" in the 17th-century Netherlands.
