A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, 1870-1891
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print created by Charles Samuel Keene during the 19th century. This Victorian-era artwork, displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, portrays a humorous concept that still resonates today. In this cleverly crafted cartoon, Keene skillfully depicts a man dressed as a sheep while hiding his true identity as a wolf. Dressed in traditional farming attire with a comical twist, the man dons an oversized top hat and smock. His mischievous grin hints at his deceptive nature. The artist's use of ink and gouache brings out the intricate details of the scene, capturing the essence of this amusing satire. Through this piece, Keene explores themes such as disguise and deception within society. With wit and charm, "A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" invites viewers to reflect on human behavior and question appearances versus reality. It serves as a reminder that not everything or everyone is what they seem. This remarkable work showcases Keene's talent for combining artistry with social commentary. As you admire this print from Heritage Art Collection, let it serve as both entertainment and food for thought—a timeless reminder to look beyond outward appearances to uncover hidden truths lurking beneath the surface.
