The image is a dark and moody painting of a man crouching in fear as a large, snarling wolf approaches him in a forest. The wolf is in the foreground, its fur matted and its teeth bared. The man is in the background, his face obscured by his cloak. The forest is dark and shadowy, the trees looming over the man and the wolf. The painting is full of tension and suspense, as the man seems to be in imminent danger.
