A Lioness 

"A Lioness" is a charcoal drawing by American artist Joseph Pennell (1857-1926). The drawing depicts a lioness in profile, lying down with her head bowed. The artist uses loose, gestural lines to capture the animal's powerful form and muscularity, with the subtle shading contributing to the animal's dynamic, almost lifelike appearance. Pennell is known for his drawings of urban landscapes and industrial scenes but also created works like this, demonstrating his talent and versatility as a draftsman.
