Composite
picture painted on the curved surface of a stalactite. The representation
shows the lower part of a female body, partially superimposed upon a
bison profile, the foreleg of the animal corresponding to one of the
woman’s legs. On the other side appears the picture of a feline,
possibly a lion, on the back of which the female figure seems to rest
(Chauvet cave, Ardèche, France, 33/30,000 years B.P.). |
