Lioness

Cleveland Museum of Art

Green patina bronze sculpture of a crouched lioness, titled "Lioness". The sculpture depicts a lioness in a crouched position, with her body low to the ground and her tail curled upward. The lioness has a large head with a short snout and small ears. The body is muscular and sleek, with a prominent ribcage. The legs are tucked under the body, with the front paws extended forward. The sculpture is made of bronze with a green patina, showing signs of wear and tear with visible red-brown areas where the patina has worn off. The background is a plain gray surface, providing a neutral contrast to the sculpture. The artist of this piece is unknown.
