"A Lioness Resting" by Rembrandt

I thought it'd be fun to visit the Getty while the Rembrandt gallery was still there, and it was definitely worth it.
I like how Rembrandt was able to convey the strength and emotions of this lioness with what looks like a few simple strokes. The eyes are fierce and the paws are laid together in an almost protective manner. The smallest details of this sketch are what brings it all together remarkably.
