The image depicts a lion consuming a horse. The lion has a thick mane and is positioned on the left side of the image, facing right. Its head is lowered as it eats the horse. The horse is mostly on the right side of the image with its legs splayed out and its body partially eaten. The scene is set against a rocky backdrop with a large boulder or cliff face behind the animals. The ground appears to be dry and cracked. The entire scene is rendered in dark tones, with the lion and horse in varying shades of black and gray. The background is a light brown color, resembling aged paper. The style of the image suggests it is an old engraving or drawing.
