Original artwork description:
The Gevaudan Wolf represents the head of a mythical beast carved and worked from a solid wood stump.
The teeth and fangs have been carved from a soft wood.
The general colour of the wood was obtained from a tinted and then polished wax.
This creature is both frightening and attractive with its pale green eyes and various bumps on the skull. It evokes the legendary side of wolves, which have been the subject of detestable stories since the dawn of time, with varying degrees of accuracy.
Fascinating, wolves have a hierarchical and intelligent organisation focused on survival, disturbed by the reduction of their natural territory due to man, who is their greatest predator, although he is sometimes also their greatest protector...
