This 1664 engraving by an unknown artist depicts a fountain with a lion's head spout. The fountain is shown in profile, with a round basin and a column that rises behind it. The basin is decorated with a striped pattern of green, red, and blue. The lion's head spout is located in the center of the fountain and is shown with a fierce expression. This design, likely for a decorative fountain, could be used in a garden or public space. The intricate details of the fountain, including the realistic depiction of the water flowing from the spout and the vibrant colors of the basin, suggest that this engraving may have been intended for a more wealthy audience.
