end of the

chase. The

lion, with a

final spring

has gripped

with one paw

the hindquarters of

the he-goat, bearing

him to the ground,

while the other paw

upraised to deal

the coup de grace.

In spite of the
cramped conditions
under which the de-
was composed,
it is of singular force
and naturalism. Some
attempt, too, is shown
to adjust certain main
features in its move-
ment—such as the
thrown back neck and
horns and outstretch-
ed hindmost leg of
the eoat and the hind
legs of the lion—to
the spaces where the
figures were bound
to be partly effaced
by the large rivet-
heads of the upper
compartment.
