This is a drawing of two studies of a lioness. The artwork features two sketches of a lioness, one lying down in profile, showing her face and body, and another sketch focusing on the lioness's head and facial features. The drawing is done in pencil with soft shading and bold lines to emphasize the lioness's form, fur texture, and body lines.
