Un león atrapado en una red

Una escena finamente grabada muestra un león tendido y enredado en una red sobre el suelo, con un castillo y colinas rocosas al fondo. Altos árboles enmarcan la composición bajo un lema en latín en la franja superior, y el sombreado denso representa el follaje y la melena del león.
