Description:

A hare wearing a lioness mask attacks a fleeing lioness clad in a hare mask, while an insect with a bird mask observes from the side. In the background, an animal wearing a lion mask is carried off by a bird fitted 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.
