Schetsen van jong leeuwtje 1918

"Schetsen van jong leeuwtje" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Lambertus Zijl, created in 1918. The work depicts a series of quick sketches of a young lion, capturing different poses and angles. Zijl's loose and gestural style, typical of his animal studies, is evident in the dynamic lines and expressive forms of the sketches. This small-scale drawing, measuring just 139 mm in height and 150 mm in width, offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process and his fascination with the natural world.
