"Lion" is a painting by Richard Friese, a German-born artist known for his detailed animal studies. The painting, characterized by a realistic style, depicts a lion in a rocky, desert landscape, with a dramatic, windswept sky in the background. Friese’s attention to detail is evident in the lion’s fur, the texture of the rocks, and the subtle movement of the grasses. The viewer is drawn to the lion’s gaze, conveying a sense of power and alertness.
