The artwork, titled “Lion Plate,” was created by Jean Cocteau and belongs to the Expressionism art movement. It is part of the “Plate Design” series and falls under the genre of design.
In the artwork, a minimalistic yet expressive representation of a lion’s face is meticulously drawn. The lion’s visage is rendered with graceful, fluid lines that convey an aura of poise and power. The features of the lion, including its eyes, nose, and mane, are abstractly depicted with bold, black outlines against the white background of the plate. The words “Lions club” are inscribed near the top edge of the plate, and the artist’s signature along with the year “1958” are positioned near the bottom edge, serving as a mark of authenticity. The composition reflects both the elegance and simplicity characteristic of Cocteau’s style.
