Lion is a 1613 unspecified by Peter Paul Rubens, a Flemish Baroque painting work, depicting lion, held at British Museum.
The painting depicts a lion reclining on the ground, its body facing right while its head turns to the left. The lion's long mane is visible, and its eyes are cast downward. The background of the painting is a warm, yellowish color. A notable detail in the painting is the texture of the lion's fur, which appears soft and fluffy. The artist has used gentle brushstrokes to convey the lion's relaxed posture. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Peter Paul Rubens.
