A male lion with a prominent reddish-brown mane is depicted lying on a raised wooden platform composed of rough-hewn logs. Its body extends towards the left, while its head, facing right, rests upon one of the platform's logs, with its eyes partially closed. The lion's front paws are tucked beneath its head. In the background, a chain-link fence encloses the area, behind which a light blue tarp or fabric is visible. Further in the background, bare deciduous trees and indistinct building structures can be discerned under a clear sky. The scene is located outdoors at the Varna Zoo, Varna, Bulgaria.
