The Lion Orders a Mass Assault on Reynard is a 1650 ink by Allart van Everdingen, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows a lion, seemingly giving orders to a group of animals. The lion is at the center, with its mouth open, surrounded by various creatures including a large dog, a fox, a rabbit, and a goat. They are all gathered in a forest setting, with trees and foliage visible in the background. The lion appears to be the leader, with the other animals looking up to it. The scene is dynamic, with the animals' bodies turned towards the lion, conveying a sense of movement and energy.
