Bared teeth, amber eyes and a ruff of cold teal: this wolf is painted at two temperatures at once. The head and back run to warm russet and gold, while the mane, chest and forelegs turn blue, so the animal looks lit by firelight on one flank and by moonlight on the other. Working against black The ground is very nearly black, and that choice does much of the work. A dark field takes the surrounding light out of the picture, so the gold swirls behind the shoulder and the fine blue filigree curling across the lower half both appear to glow rather than simply sit there. Deep grounds also let the made bed read as one solid shape in a room, with the wolf as its single bright point. Teeth and tall tales The snarling wolf has been shorthand for menace in European storytelling for centuries, and most of that reputation grew in the telling rather than in the forest. Anyone who enjoys the stories behind the image will find plenty in our piece on what is a werewolf.
