EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us to the enchanting world of French fables. Created by Adolphe Francois Pannemaker, this monochrome engraving beautifully captures the essence of deception and danger. In this scene from "The Fables of Jean de la Fontaine" we find ourselves in a quaint country bedroom. A cunning wolf, cleverly disguised as an innocent woman, stands at the center of attention. The anthropomorphic creature skillfully conceals its true nature behind an elegant dress and a nightcap. Surrounded by children and adults alike, the disguised wolf exudes an air of perilous intrigue. Its piercing eyes hint at the treacherous intentions hidden beneath its deceptive facade. As we delve into this seventeenth-century tale, we are reminded of the timeless power of literature to explore complex concepts such as deceit and betrayal. The intricate details in Pannemaker's artwork showcase his mastery as an artist. From every fold in the clothing to each strand of hair on the wolf's head, his attention to detail brings this fable to life before our very eyes. "The Disguised Wolf" print serves as a testament to both Pannemaker's artistic prowess and Jean de la Fontaine's enduring storytelling legacy. It invites us into a world where animals take on human qualities and teaches us valuable lessons about trust and perception through its artful deception.
