Twee leeuwen 1729

Bernard Picart's 1729 etching "Twee leeuwen" depicts two lions lying down, one behind the other, in a naturalistic pose. The artist was known for his detailed illustrations and this print, which is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, displays the meticulous attention to detail that characterized his work. The two lions are rendered in a realistic manner, with their fur meticulously depicted. The composition is simple yet effective, with the lions positioned in a way that creates a sense of balance and harmony.
