Rien de trop (Nothing in Excess)

Jean-Baptiste Oudry, published 1756

This is a painting featuring wolves attacking sheep near architectural ruins by a lakeside. The scene includes two wolves engaging with two sheep lying on the ground. In the background, there is a classical structure with a domed roof and colonnades, along with partially ruined stone walls. A single cypress tree stands tall in the landscape. The sky is softly tinted with clouds, creating a serene yet melancholic atmosphere. The painting uses a muted color palette and is in the style of Jean-Baptiste Oudry.
