A majestic lion with a full russet mane stands protectively beside a smaller lion cub against a soft sage green background, rendered in warm peachy and golden tones. The illustration captures a tender moment between parent and offspring with gentle, rounded forms and a calm, nurturing composition that radiates familial warmth. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
