Ligabue creates this painting dedicated to the theme of hunting and the struggle for survival with extreme accuracy. A leopard leaps forward, obliquely occupying the space of the table, to the sides are inserted scenes complementary to the theme of the work. At the bottom right, in the darkness of the bush, we can glimpse a sort of still life composed of a large black widow, a scorpion and other insects, bird feathers and a human skull, which belonged to the predator's victims. On the left some antelopes flee lightly among the fields.
