The painting depicts a man with curly dark hair, wearing a blue sleeveless top and a red draped cloth. The man is sitting on the right side of a lion's head and has his right elbow resting on the lion's skull. He is looking to his right with his head slightly tilted. The man has a gold bracelet on his right wrist and one on his right bicep. The lion's head is brown with a tan skull resting on top. There are green leaves on the left side of the lion's head. The background of the painting is dark. The overall mood seems contemplative. The man by the lion is titled "Samson" and was painted by Valentin de Boulogne.
