Image description: Oil painting framed in an ornate floral frame. The painting is of a black-haired woman sitting on a wooden travel trunk or bench. Next to her is a lion cub. Another cub is cradled in the woman's lap and she bottle-feeds it. In the background there is a cage on wheeled (like for an old-timey traveling circus) with three adult lions in it--2 female and 1 male. The adult lions are watching the cubs. On the ground nearby is a black metal contraption that might be a food bowl on an arm, so that the adult lions can be fed from outside the cage, and the bowl retrieved.
