The lion here is quite like the indoor lion of Durer’s St Jerome in His Study – http://www.cbl.ie/cbl_image_gallery/collection/detail.aspx?imageid=61&imagenumber=t0004822&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1

Jerome was a brilliant asshole who otherwise had many of the marks of sanctity. If he were not hitting himself or stabbing himself or whatever he’s doing here, he would not be a saint. Glad he’s kicking himself in the ass. Makes me feel OK about asking him for his prayers.
