This 16th-century engraving titled "Leeuwen" by an anonymous artist depicts a group of lions in a natural setting, showcasing a lively scene with multiple lions in various positions. The detailed depiction of the animals, particularly the prominent male lion at the center, demonstrates the artist's keen observation and skill in rendering the powerful anatomy and majestic features of these creatures. "Leeuwen" is a compelling example of a zoological illustration, highlighting the beauty and wonder of the natural world, and remains a fascinating glimpse into the artistic style of the period. The print is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
