About this work

A recumbent lion rests on grass beside a rocky outcrop, its shaggy mane and yellow eyes rendered in pen and watercolour. The background shows distant hills and a tree with green foliage under a pale blue sky. This hand-coloured drawing, titled The Lion, was made by Thomas Rowlandson in 1787 as part of the Foreign and Domestick Animals series.
