Cornelis SaftlevenPaíses Bajos, 1607–1681¿Se puede contemplar?
Amsterdam, Países Bajos
Se sabe quién es el propietario. Si hoy está expuesta, el museo no lo dice, y a adivinar no nos enseñaron.
Cornelis Saftleven began drawing animals from life only at a late age. Before then, he had relied on depictions by other artists, such as the animals in paintings by Roelant Savery. The lion in this drawing also seems to have been taken from such an example. The animal’s pose looks
unnatural and its head more closely resembles that of a dog.
