Russisk bonde, der er blevet overfaldet af en ulv 1647

This anonymous etching from 1647, titled "Russisk bonde, der er blevet overfaldet af en ulv," depicts a scene of a Russian peasant being attacked by a wolf in a wooded landscape. The detailed depiction of the wolf's attack and the peasant's desperate struggle creates a sense of immediacy and drama. This small-scale work (90 mm x 140 mm), now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the challenges and dangers faced by people living in rural areas during this period. The graphic nature of the scene suggests an interest in depicting the harsh realities of life, perhaps reflecting a growing awareness of social issues.
