This impressive oil painting shows a lioness in a dramatic, nocturnal scene. The essence and power of this majestic feline predator has been masterfully captured. Her face is worked out in detail and takes centre stage in the painting. The lioness's amber-coloured eyes gaze intensely and vigilantly, further emphasising her presence. The slightly open mouth with visible teeth reinforces the impression of a lurking huntress. The depiction of the fur is particularly impressive. The texture and movement of the fur has been captured with fine brushstrokes, lending the painting a lively quality. The lioness's musculature and body shape are masterfully emphasised through subtle shading and light reflections. The painting captures not only the physical appearance of a lioness, but also her nature as a predator. The technique of oil on velvet is very rarely used, as it is very time-consuming and difficult.
