This woodcut by Conrad Saldörffer depicts a scene with two wolves and various fowl. On the left side, a wolf chases a goose, while on the right, a wolf stands upright, preaching to a group of chickens and a goose. The German text above and below the scene, referring to the wolves and fowl, provides commentary on the themes of the woodcut, likely relating to human nature, morality, or the dangers of greed. This small, detailed woodcut is an excellent example of the artistic skill employed in printmaking during the sixteenth century.
