Löwendenkmal, Luzern Watercolor

Mark Twain called it "the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world." Carved directly into a sandstone cliff in Lucerne, the dying lion memorial commemorates the Swiss Guards who fell defending the French royal family in 1792. Zleetni's watercolor renders this iconic monument with quiet reverence, the great lion at rest in his rocky alcove.
