Lion

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a fierce lion standing on a rocky ground. Its mouth is wide open, teeth bared, and its mane is thick and wild. The background has some bushes and a tree branch curling at the top, but the lion is the main focus. The artist used lines to show the lion’s fur and muscles, making it look powerful. This style fits the Baroque period, known for dramatic energy. Next, check out the technique: etching.
