Leeuw 1729

Bernard Picart's "Leeuw" (1729) is a detailed etching that showcases a lion in a realistic pose. The artist's masterful use of line creates a sense of depth and texture in the animal's fur, capturing the intricate details of its anatomy. The lion is depicted lying down, looking to the left, exuding a sense of power and majesty. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Picart's skill in depicting the natural world with precision and artistry.
