From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Wolf and the Monkeys is a 1650 ink by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching depicts a wolf standing in the foreground, facing three monkeys seated on the ground to the right. The wolf is positioned on a rocky outcropping, while the monkeys sit on a lower level, surrounded by more rocks and a few trees in the background. The scene is rendered in a range of grays, with darker shading used to create depth and texture. The composition is dynamic, with the wolf's gaze directed towards the monkeys, who appear to be engaged in conversation. The artist's use of line and shadow creates a sense of tension and energy in the scene. For more information on the artist who created this work, look up Everdingen, Allart van.
