Curious and Serene Lion Face In Colour Pencil - Framed

This powerful piece, drawn entirely in coloured pencil by a Malawian artist, captures the lion not just as a symbol of strength — but of thought, watchfulness, and wisdom. Every strand of mane has been carefully layered with strokes of golden brown, chestnut and ash, flowing like fire around the lion’s face. The expression is striking: eyes wide and locked onto the viewer with an intensity that feels almost human, filled with both presence and pain, as though the lion is carrying the weight of something unseen.

Look closely and you’ll notice subtle detailing — soft whiskers, hints of aged fur beneath the eyes, the fine contrast of light against shadow — bringing this portrait to life with uncanny realism. It’s not a lion roaring. It’s a lion knowing. Proud. Still. Observing everything.

A rare piece of African artistry — full of soul, story, and craft.
