The painting shows a lion. It's an old print, made with a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark. The artist used this technique to create a sense of depth and texture, which is interesting because it was done a long time ago. You can learn more about this technique by looking into the work of artist: Jackson, John Baptist
