This painting shows two wolves in a tangled fight, their teeth bared and fur matted. One wolf is on the ground, clawing at the other, which is half-standing over rocks and tall grass. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on the wolves’ fur, and the colors are dark—browns, blacks, and a few patches of green in the background. The artist made the wolves look fierce by using strong shadows and light contrasts. The paint is applied in thick layers, giving the fur texture. Next, check out *chiaroscuro* to see how light and dark create drama.
