This red-toned woodblock print by Dutch artist Bernard Willem Wierink, dating to around 1910, is a stylized depiction of a lion, two owls, and two monkeys. The composition is bordered by foliage and has a geometric pattern, creating a sense of rhythm and repetition. The animals, despite being simplified in their form, possess a sense of vitality, making this work a good example of Wierink's artistic style. The print, currently held by the Rijksmuseum, is a small work, measuring only 65 mm in height and 176 mm in width.
