Study for Four Lions 

This oil sketch by Théodore Géricault is a study for his larger painting "Four Lions." Géricault, known for his dramatic realism and interest in animals, painted this study to explore the anatomy and posture of lions. The piece is a powerful example of Géricault's fascination with nature and the raw power of animals, often evident in his depiction of horses. Géricault's interest in anatomical studies is apparent in this work, which is displayed at the Musée Bonnat in Bayonne, France.
