The artwork depicts a picturesque view of the famous Lion Monument in Lucerne, Switzerland, a sculpture carved into a rock face in memory of the Swiss guards who died defending the Tuileries Palace during the French Revolution. The print showcases the monument from a distance, surrounded by lush foliage and a calm lake, offering a serene and contemplative perspective on the historical site. This print is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
