Giulia ...
" The lioness is showing a feline prettiness by lying as a princess. It is brown painted and it is opening slightly its mouth. "

" These are worthy mates of the 'King of the Forest', and one of the most beautiful of the cat tribe. The skin of the lioness is more silky than the male, but they have not the majestic bearing to the same degree. "
