Description

The human skeleton is giving the wolf a beating, the wolf lying on its back and warding off the blows. The eyes of the wolf of bone and black glass.Meinertzhagen considered this popular subject to be a graveyard scene with “a skeleton of a man apparently avenging himself on the wolf that slew him.” (MCI, P. 748)
