A horizontally oriented print in black ink on cream paper depicts a landscape with a lioness on the left and a male lion on the right, both with powerful musculature. The lioness stands with her back turned, glancing toward the crouching male. His thick mane frames a snarling face with bared teeth. To the right, a rocky cliff rises against a clouded sky. Latin text below identifies the artist, Peter Paul Rubens.
