This is a drawing of a lion with a chain connecting it to a sitting figure. The image depicts a large, regal lion lying on the ground, its mane full and well-defined, gazing at the viewer with a somewhat fierce expression. The lion wears a crown, suggesting a symbol of power or royalty. Attached to the lion with a chain is a seated figure, which appears to be leaning back with a somewhat anxious or startled expression. The scene is rendered in a monochromatic palette, emphasizing the contrast and detail of the line work.
