Schetsen van een leeuwtje 1918

This 1918 pencil sketch by Dutch artist Lambertus Zijl, known for his animal paintings, depicts several studies of a lion cub. The work is a quick and loose sketch, demonstrating the artist's keen eye for anatomy and form. The dynamic poses and simplified lines capture the cub's playful energy and youthful charm. This is a typical example of the artist's approach to animal studies, where he focused on capturing the essence of his subjects through swift and expressive lines.
