The scene depicts a male African lion situated within a fenced outdoor enclosure, consistent with an animal orphanage or rehabilitation center in Nairobi, Kenya, such as the Nairobi National Park Animal Orphanage. The lion, possessing a light tan body and a prominent dark brown to black mane, is viewed from its posterior-left, positioned with its hindquarters lowered on a mixture of green grass and dry earth. Its front limbs are extended forward, suggesting an intermediate action of rising from or settling into a resting position. A chain-link fence forms the rear boundary of the enclosure, beyond which a dense backdrop of trees and foliage is visible. A small, dark tree stump is located on the right side of the enclosure. The immediate foreground is blurred, showing a dark brown, solid barrier and a thin black line, indicative of an observer's viewpoint overlooking the exhibit. No people or other animals are discernible in direct interaction with the lion.
