Sculptuur van een vrouw met een leeuw door Guillaume Geefs, tentoongesteld op de Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations van 1851 in Londen 1851

This is a photograph of a sculpture of a woman and a lion, by the artist Hugh Owen, dating back to 1851. The sculpture, likely made of marble, was exhibited at the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations in London. The woman is depicted in a reclining pose, while the lion is calmly resting beneath her. Owen's work captures a sense of harmony and gentleness between the two, which may symbolize the power of human connection and the control of nature. This was a common theme in 19th-century art, and the sculpture's exhibition at the Great Exhibition demonstrates its significance during this period.
