"Plate 6: Lion" from Stefano della Bella’s series "Various Animals" is an etching that depicts a majestic lion standing in a landscape. The etching, dated 1636-46, highlights della Bella's skilled use of line to create the animal's textured fur and powerful form. The artist's attention to detail, visible in the lion's musculature and the subtle rendering of the background, makes the work both scientifically accurate and visually captivating.
