About this work

This painting shows a woman and a lion in a serene landscape. The woman, dressed in a long, flowing dress, sits on the ground, gently holding a leash attached to the lion's collar. The lion, with its majestic mane and powerful physique, lies calmly beside her. The scene is set in a peaceful outdoor environment, with trees and grass surrounding the pair. The woman's gentle interaction with the lion conveys a sense of harmony and trust between the two. This artwork is held at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
