Mount Lycabettus opposite the Acropolis in Athens was reputed to have been populated by wolves (lukoï in Greek) in Antiquity. This gave rise to legends. Our painting is undoubtedly the illustration of one of these legends.
François Maurice Roganeau was a student of Jean Léon Gérôme and Gabriel Ferrier at the Ecole des Beaux Art in Paris. He was awarded the first Grand Prix de Rome in 1906. He began in illustration and had a symbolist period. Notably at the 1912 Salon he exhibited Le Soir, à la Rivière, inspired by one of André Chénier's Poésies antiques. Or "Le poête" or "Eloge de l'Italie" (to illustrate Bucoliques et Georgiques by Virgil, Paris, 1931, ill. pl. X.) sold at Christie's in 2018 and whose style is very similar to that of our painting.
