Period: 1850-1900;
Geographic: London; United Kingdom; Greece
Description: A mother lioness stands firmly on the right side of the image staring at the small fox on the left. Behind the lioness we can see a young cub peeking out that she is clearly protecting. Around the foxes’ feet appear to be seven pups frolicking around without a care as she also protects her young from the lions. They are surrounded by lot of foliage.
