“Thief” from the series “In Sheep’s Clothing” depicts a figure dressed in a wool wolf pelt disguising the wearer much like the fable “The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing”. The human is portrayed as the villain as opposed to the wolf, as is the tradition in folklore, contemporary media and sometimes wildlife management.
