This is a black and white woodcut illustration depicting a fantastical creature. The body is that of a lion, with a muscular build, a long tail, and paws with sharp claws. However, instead of a lion's head, it has a human head with a beard and detailed facial features. The creature is standing on a slightly raised, textured ground with a few small plants. Behind the creature is a tall, spiky plant resembling a thistle or a palm frond. The style of the illustration is reminiscent of medieval or early Renaissance woodcuts, with strong lines and a focus on detail.
