Samuel Fineman

National Gallery of Art

This image shows a red lion depicted on a wooden panel. The lion is stylized and portrayed on its hind legs, set against a textured background resembling aged wood. The painting is surrounded by a wooden border with visible grain patterns and hints of red. The use of red delineates the lion from the background.
