The King of Beasts

The King of Beasts by Nicolaes de Bruyn: A black and white drawing of a lion wearing a crown and holding a scepter, surrounded by various animals including a horse, a wolf-like creature, a monkey, and a bull-like creature. The lion sits in the center, looking forward with long wavy hair and a long mane. His right paw rests on the ground and his left paw is raised. He holds a scepter in his left hand. A crown sits on his head. To his left is a horse looking right. Behind the horse is a lion cub holding a branch. To the right of the lion are various animals: a monkey standing on its hind legs with one arm extended towards the lion, a bear cub looking forward, and a bull-like creature with its mouth open. A tree branch with leaves appears behind the animals. The background is dark. The numbers 1394 appear at the bottom center.
