Description
Three lions—a maned lion and two lionesses—recline atop a rocky outcrop overlooking a golden grass savanna, with a distant herd of animals and a low mountain silhouette on the horizon. Rendered in muted ochre, grey, and pale green tones, the scene has a still, sunlit quiet. Toshi Yoshida, "Peaceful Wild Animals," 1974, color woodblock print.
