Description
A hare with a lioness mask attacks a fleeing lioness wearing a hare mask as an insect with a bird mask stands watching and, in the background, an animal with a lion mask is carried away by a bird with a deer mask.
The caption reads in the original French: Un lièvre hors de lui attaquait une lionne qui osait à peine lui résister.
