Leeuw en leeuwin 1914

"Leeuw en leeuwin" (Lion and Lioness), a woodcut by Bernard Willem Wierink, depicts a pair of majestic lions walking across a sandy landscape. Created in 1914, this artwork showcases Wierink's mastery of detail and his ability to capture the strength and grace of these powerful animals. The use of warm browns and golds against a cool blue background creates a striking contrast and emphasizes the animals' presence. This piece is a testament to Wierink's talent for capturing the beauty and grandeur of the natural world, and it remains a popular example of his work.
