About this work

A watercolor and ink drawing by Samuel Howitt titled Lion Attacking a Stag. A tawny lion with a full mane pins a stag on a rocky ledge inside a cave, its jaws at the animal's neck while the stag's legs splay and its antlers rise behind it. The cave opening frames a hazy view of rolling wooded hills and a distant mountain under a pale sky.
