In an engraving-style black and white illustration reminiscent of James Tissot’s works, a lion is powerfully portrayed against the backdrop of an ancient stone wall. With faint moonlight filtering through the ceiling’s cracks, the scene is steeped in darkness, highlighting the lion’s profile as it looks upward. The image captures the lion with one ear folded back and its mouth open, suggesting a blend of intense listening and a subtle hint of fear. This close-up view emphasizes deep shadows that contour its majestic face, where a patch of mane has dried and fallen away, adding a touch of vulnerability to its otherwise regal and determined demeanor. The lion, leaning against the wall, embodies a somber yet graceful power in this beautifully crafted scene.
