The image is a close-up of a statue of a lion's head and neck. The statue is made of bronze and is set against a clear blue sky. The lion's mane is flowing in the wind and its eyes are closed, giving it a peaceful and serene expression. Its mouth is slightly open, as if it is snarling or roaring. The sculpture is detailed and lifelike, with the lion's fur and features clearly visible. The overall mood of the image is calm and majestic.
