The image is an engraving depicting a majestic lion. The lion is lying down on what appears to be a rock or a large piece of wood, with its forepaws outstretched and its hind legs tucked beneath its body. The lion has a calm, vigilant expression, with a mane that is depicted in intricate detail. Around the lion, there is a circular border with Latin text inscribed, which reads, "EN LEO MAGNANIMUS, VIGILANTI MENTE RECUMBENS. VERBERET UT CAUDAM, SEC DOET ESSE FERAM. INGENS VIRTUS, NEC OMNIA METUENS. AD PROSERNENDUM, SED PRONUS ATQUE ACER." To the right of the lion, there are some plants and flowers. There is a scorpion on the rock near the lion's tail, and a human skull with a femur depicted near the bottom center of the image. The art style suggests it is a classical or renaissance engraving, focusing on capturing fine details and a realistic portrayal of the animal.

This image is a detailed black and white engraving that depicts a regal lion in repose. The lion is shown with a royal and somewhat contemplative expression, its eyes open and looking forward, with a pronounced mane and realistic fur texture. The lion is lying down with its forepaws extended in front of it, settled on what appears to be a rocky ground with a few sparse plants. In the foreground, to the lion's right (image left), there is a small human skull and a couple of bones resting on the ground, potentially implying the lion's dominance or the notion of mortality. The background behind the lion is relatively simplistic, with horizontal lines suggesting a distant horizon, and lightly sketched clouds in the sky above. Around the image, there is a curved banner with a Latin inscription. Unfortunately, without a clearer view or additional context, it is difficult to fully interpret or translate the text from this image. The artist seems to have signed the work at the bottom left as 'Io Visscher fe.', which might refer to the 17th-century Dutch engraver and mapmaker Claes Jansz Visscher, often known as Nicolaes Visscher I. In the right lower corner, there is a name 'Bolswert excu.', which might indicate the place of production or another person involved in the creation or distribution of the engraving. The engraving features a combination of artistic skill and allegorical meaning, common in works of art from previous centuries.

This is a detailed historical engraving of a majestic lion in repose. The artwork appears to be from the Renaissance period, showing a lion lying on what appears to be a rocky outcrop, with some vegetation visible in the background. The lion is depicted with impressive detail, particularly in its flowing mane and muscular body. There's a human skull visible in the lower portion of the image, likely serving as a memento mori (a symbolic reminder of mortality). The image is framed in a circular border containing Latin text. The craftsmanship of the engraving is remarkable, with fine line work creating texture and depth, especially in the lion's fur and mane. The style and execution suggest this is a work by a master engraver, and there appears to be an artist's signature or marking at the bottom of the piece. The composition effectively captures both the lion's regal nature and its fearsome character, making it a powerful representation of this noble creature. The surrounding text and symbolic elements suggest this was likely created as part of a larger allegorical or emblematic work.
