Lions Attacking Children

Nicolaes de Bruyn

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a nude child standing between two lions. The child has curly hair and has their arms raised. Their right arm is raised above their head and their left arm is extended to the right. The lion on the right is attacking a second child who is on the ground. The child on the ground has their arms up and appears to be screaming. The lion on the left appears to be crouching down with their mouth open. There is a monogram in the upper right corner that appears to be "NB". The monogram and the year "1597" are in the lower right corner. The drawing is on a textured surface.
