Lion Lying Down 1915

"Lion Lying Down" is a charcoal drawing by Edvard Munch, created in 1915. The piece depicts a lion, drawn in a dynamic and expressive style, characteristic of Munch's work. The animal appears to be resting, with its head turned, creating a sense of both power and vulnerability. Munch's use of charcoal allows for subtle shading and creates a sense of movement, even in a static pose, capturing the essence of the lion. This work exemplifies Munch's interest in exploring themes of nature and the animalistic aspects of human nature.
