Fabel van de wolf en het lam 1808 - 1881

This etching, "Fabel van de wolf en het lam" (The Fable of the Wolf and the Lamb) by Eugène Verboeckhoven, depicts a classic Aesopian fable. The scene shows a wolf and a lamb at a watering hole, mirroring the traditional tale of the wolf accusing the lamb of muddying its water. The work, created between 1808 and 1881, exemplifies Verboeckhoven's talent for capturing animal behavior with meticulous detail. Its small size (104 x 122 mm) makes it a charming and intimate representation of this enduring story.
