Recumbent Lion

PHILADELPHIA MERCHANT'S EXCHANGE
Designed by William Strickland who was the architect of the steeple on Independence Hall, the U.S. Naval Asylum, the U.S. Mint and the Second Bank of the United States.
A pair of recumbent lions watch over 2 sets of stairs. The lions, imported from Italy, were a gift from a local merchant in 1838.

Such a regal POV - looking up at his majesty! Excellent!

Love the range of grey scale. The contrast of the rectalinear surrounding forms sets the natural forms of the lion well!
