Sketch for "The Wolf Turned Shepherd" (recto)

Gustave Doré

Cleveland Museum of Art

A pencil sketch on aged paper, depicting a standing anthropomorphic wolf wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a long cloak. The wolf holds a long staff diagonally across its body, grasping it with both hands. The wolf's head is tilted downward, gazing to the left; its ears are visible. A red circular stamp with the text "Studio G. Doré" appears on the bottom right. Handwritten text along the bottom edge includes quotation marks around "The wolf turned shepherd" and some illegible cursive writing, accompanied by the numbers 31/4 and 18 *N* in the bottom corners.
