EDITORS COMMENTS
Cornelis Saftleven's captivating drawing of a lion, created around 1626, showcases the Dutch artist's exceptional skill in capturing the raw power and majesty of the king of the jungle. The low-hanging head, alert ears, and piercing gaze convey a sense of regal presence and unyielding strength. The lion's muscular body is depicted in stunning detail, with every ripple of muscle and tuft of fur meticulously rendered in chalk on paper. Saftleven, also known as Jagtleven or Zathleven, masterfully captures the lion's unique coloration, with its tawny coat and dark mane contrasting against the white background. The lion's legs are spread apart, adding to the sense of stability and dominance. This full-length portrait of a lion, created during the Baroque era in the Netherlands, is a testament to Saftleven's artistic prowess and his ability to bring the natural world to life. The drawing is now part of the esteemed collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
