Various Lions

Abraham Blooteling

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white illustration of two lions. One lion on the right is lying on the ground with its head and front paws to the left and its mouth open showing teeth; its mane covers the top of its head and back of its neck. The other lion on the left stands over it with its back and tail toward the viewer. The standing lion's head is turned toward the other lion. Both lions are muscular. The standing lion faces a tree on the right; landscape and sky are in the background. Text at bottom center reads "VARIE LEONUM ICONES"; Other text reads "Abraham Bloteling fecit", "pictæ a Petro P. Rubens", and "Nicolaus Visscher excudit".
