A horizontally oriented etching in black ink depicts two lions. On the left, a lioness stands with her back turned, looking toward the right. To her right, a maned lion crouches low with its mouth open, baring teeth. A massive rocky outcrop rises in the background on the right. Below the scene, Latin text reading "VARIE LEONUM ICONES pictae a Petro P. Rubens" is centered between artist names in the bottom corners.
