This sculpture portrays a reclining lion with a striking balance of power and delicacy. The anatomical precision — from the tension in the muscles to the flow of the mane — captures the majesty and natural grace of the lion in an incredibly lifelike manner. One of the most captivating elements is the lion's expression. With its eyes closed and head resting on its forepaw, it conveys a serene and introspective presence. It almost seems to be sleeping or deep in thought, evoking a sense of calm and quiet dignity in the viewer.
