Detailed Description
The image shows a dense jungle scene. In the lower center, a tawny lion with a dark mane is crouched amidst large green leaves, holding a striped, light brown animal in its mouth. The lion's head is turned slightly to the left, and its eyes are visible. Lush green foliage surrounds the lion and extends throughout the canvas, including broad leaves in the foreground and numerous tall, slender trees and ferns in the mid-ground. On the far left, a large, white, feathery plant stands tall. Several large, bell-shaped yellow flowers are scattered across the upper and mid-sections, with a prominent blue flower near the center-right and a lighter pink flower on the far right. In the upper center, a bright white, circular form, possibly a moon or sun, is visible, partially obscured by a dark green canopy, against a pale blue-grey sky.
