The painting "Una and the Lion" depicts a scene from Edmund Spenser's epic poem *The Faerie Queen*. In the painting, a young woman, Una, stands beside a lion as a lamb frolics in the foreground. The lion is a symbol of strength and protection, and Una is a representation of purity and innocence. This work by Briton Riviere, an acclaimed animal painter, showcases his masterful depiction of animal anatomy and the human-animal bond. The scene is set in a woodland setting, with a sense of tranquility and peacefulness.
