Lioness Attacking a Boar
by SNYDERS, Frans, Oil on canvas, 164 x 239 cm
In his earliest scenes of hunting and animals fighting, Snyders sometimes borrowed individual motifs from Rubens’s works. After 1620 he began to model himself on them more specifically: his Lioness Attacking a Boar, painted around 1620, is one of the first examples of this new trend.
