The image shows a lion lying with its eyes closed next to a fox under a large tree. Nearby, there are sheep and more foxes, some resting and some standing. In the background, there is a church with spires and mountains. The scene is rendered in a monochromatic palette of black and cream, with detailed textures and contrasts. Different densities of ink suggest shadows and light.
