Sketch for "The Wolf Turned Shepherd" (recto) Sketch of Hunting Scene (verso)

Gustave Doré

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two sketches on aged paper with darker edges. Left sketch: A pencil drawing of a wolf wearing a headscarf and holding a shepherd's staff. The wolf has large eyes and appears to be leaning to the left. The wolf's right arm is bent at the elbow, and it holds the staff with both paws. A small inscription at the bottom reads "the wolf turned shepherd" with some illegible writing. Right sketch: A pencil drawing of a man on horseback. The man is sitting on the horse. A red circular stamp is on the bottom right corner of each sketch. The background of both sketches is the aged paper.
