LDV 'A cloudburst' ... part 2

Leonardo Da Vinci’s, A cloudburst of material possessions c1506 -12 

Black chalk pen and ink (part 2)

There is a lion prowling in the clouds at top left, its head in two positions, and the note above, ‘on this side Adam, on that, Eve’.
I was only able to see the second face (Eve, on the right), by superimposing yellow Brolly fabric on this section.

Throughout history much have been made about the lion:

  •  Biblical references
  •  Emperor Haile Selassie / Lion of Judah
  •  Hunting of the lion during various eras in time
  •  C S Lewis in his Chronicles of Narnia series
  •  Films and theatre productions  e.g. the Lion King and The Wizard of Oz
  •  There are over 15 countries with a lion in their national flag
