The Wolf and the Lamb (La Fontaine fable) 1804

"The Wolf and the Lamb (La Fontaine Fable)" is a wallpaper design by Jean-Baptiste Huet I created in 1804. The design features a repeating pattern of classical motifs, including cherubs, draped figures, and a scene depicting the fable of the wolf and the lamb. This design is typical of Huet's work which blends classical inspiration with intricate detail and vibrant color. The wallpaper, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artist's mastery of design and his contributions to the decorative arts of the early 19th century.
