This is a painting featuring a spotted leopard and a small antelope on a grassy terrain. The leopard is on the left side in profile with a curved tail and large spots. On the right, a light-colored antelope with short horns is on the ground. The background is minimalist with an oval frame. Inscriptions above and below the scene read "SEMPE ALIQVID NOVI ADFFERT AFRICA" and "PARDI MORS" respectively. This painting is in the style of Johannes Stradanus.
