The image is a detailed black and white woodcut print depicting a wild, chaotic scene. In the foreground, a large, fierce-looking lion is being attacked by a figure who is stabbing it with a short sword or dagger. The lion has a thick mane and appears to be growling or roaring in pain. The figure attacking the lion has a full beard and is wearing a draped garment, appearing to exert much effort into the attack. In the background is a landscape that includes a town or village with an array of buildings, some with visible windows, doors, and architectural detailing. A castle with towers and a flag perched atop a hill can be seen to the right, with an embellished gateway. Trees, and what may be a river, give depth to the backdrop. Hills or mountains in the distance create a horizon under a sky filled with clouds and flying birds. To the left side, a tall tree with distinct leaves can be seen blowing in the wind, emphasizing the turbulence of the scene. The woodcut is marked with the monogram "AD," suggesting the artist may be Albrecht Dürer. The use of high contrast, with robust black lines against white, suggests the style and technique characteristically used during the Renaissance period, specifically from Northern Europe. The subject matter, with its dramatic intensity and possibly symbolic undertones, is reminiscent of mythological or allegorical scenes from classical literature or the Bible.
