Head of lion - Théodore Géricault
Théodore Géricault painted this portrait of a lioness around 1819. A certain melancholy can be detected in the deep gaze of the captive animal. The representation of lionesses is not common, all the glory being rather attributed to the king of animals: the lion. However, the social structure of the species, which is unique among wild animals, is largely based on females.
