Various Lions

Abraham Blooteling

Cleveland Museum of Art

The engraving "Various Lions" by Abraham Blooteling depicts two lions. The lion on the left lies with its head on the ground and its body turned to the left; its mane covers its face. The lion on the right lies on its stomach with its head up, facing slightly to the left; its front paws are folded under its chest, and its tail stretches behind it. The lions have thick, textured manes and fur. They are set against a landscape with a cloudy sky and some rocks or mountains on the left. The engraving is in black and white, with detailed lines and shading. Text at the bottom reads "P.P. Rubens pinxit" on the left and "A. Bloteling fecit" on the right.
