Against a rocky and wooded wilderness setting, a lioness and a lion move across the foreground from left to right. Both look out at the viewer, while the thickly maned lion on the right turns his head in our direction and lifts his right paw. Behind them, on the left, a young cub lies on the ground with its head between its front paws, its gaze also on the viewer. Our sense of the animals’ ferocity is accentuated by their glaring eyes and the open mouths of the two adults, which suggest they are growling.
