The Lion in Love

Frederick Stuart Church

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Lion in Love by Frederick Stuart Church: A sepia-toned drawing of a woman and a lion. The woman sits on a tree root on the left, with her head down and to the right, looking at a lion. She has dark hair pulled back and wears a short-sleeved dress that drapes down to her ankles. The lion lies on the ground on the right, looking at the woman, with its body angled to the left. The lion has a large mane and a collar with a chain attached. In the background, there is grass, a tree with branches and leaves on the left, and some tall plants on the right. The drawing is signed by the artist in two places: once in the bottom center of the image and once in the lower right corner. The image has a light-colored border around it.
