Theattitude and expression show how well tiie artist has observed the characteristicsof the lion, how convincingly and with what simj)le means he has been able toillustrate the enormous strength and the ferocious courage of the beast, notuntainted, however, by cra\en timidity. The animal is stalking along a narrow,flat, grass-grown plateau, beyond which are seen the lofty serrated peaks of anirregular mountain range, partly- in sunlight and partly in shadow, against asimple, luminous, cloud-covered sky. The sunlight falls upon the animal fromthe upper right, casting long shadows upon the herbage. Signed at the lower riyht, Euc. Dki.acroix, 18.J1. Collection Habtmaxn, Paria, 1881. Collection M. G.
