Liggende løvinde 1819 - 1890

Edme Saint-Marcel's "Liggende løvinde" is a charcoal drawing depicting a lioness lying on the ground. Created between 1819 and 1890, the artwork demonstrates the artist's skill in capturing the animal's form and anatomy with dynamic, expressive lines. The composition focuses on the lioness's body, with its powerful musculature rendered in a gestural style. The drawing's loose and energetic lines create a sense of movement and vitality, despite the animal's resting pose. The work is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. This drawing, a fine example of animal studies, showcases Saint-Marcel's talent for anatomical accuracy and dynamic form.
