"Zittende leeuw" is a graphite drawing by Dutch artist Guillaume Anne van der Brugghen, created between 1821 and 1891. The drawing depicts a seated lion in profile, its head turned towards the viewer, and its musculature and features are rendered in a naturalistic yet expressive style. The artist's use of delicate lines captures the animal's powerful presence and its subtle movements. Van der Brugghen's keen observation and ability to convey the essence of the subject are evident in this sketch.
