Liggende leeuw, de kop naar rechts gedraaid 1775 - 1833

"Liggende leeuw, de kop naar rechts gedraaid" is a pencil drawing created by Jean Bernard between 1775 and 1833. The artwork features a reclining lion, its head turned to the right, showcasing the artist's detailed depiction of the animal's anatomy and musculature. This drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Bernard's skilled portrayal of animal subjects, particularly lions, a motif often seen in his work. The simplicity of the composition and the artist's focus on the lion's form and texture enhance the realistic representation, making it a compelling example of animal studies in Dutch art.
