Androcles and the Lion, On a square plinth, the slave Androclus stands with his left leg over the well-liked lion, who jumps to the right between his legs, turns his head and looks up to him. Androclus looks in the direction of his raised right fist and holds the left hand on the lion's mane, which is supported by the chest on a stump. He has a band through the fluttering hair. A thin drapery hangs from the raised right upper arm for shame and is held up by a thin band around his loins., Jan Pieter van Baurscheit (de Oude), Antwerp, c. 1700 - c. 1725, sandstone, h 250 cm w 797 kg h 97 cm w 89
