This is a drawing of various wild animals gathered in a natural setting. The scene shows a lion, a bear, a hyena, and other animals in a clearing amongst hills or mountains. The lion is in the foreground with a detailed mane. Other animals are interacting around it. The background includes hills, simple buildings, and clouds in the sky. Trees frame the upper part of the image. The style is characterized by fine lines and crosshatching, typical of traditional etchings or prints.
