An important KPM Plaque of a Gladiator Battling a Lion and Tiger in a Neoclassical Colosseum. A woman in distress cowers behind the gladiator as he surmounts his recently slain lion, readying himself to battle the tiger that crouches before him. The crowd looms above them with eager expressions, leaning in to catch the action in the arena. The emperor in his pristine purple robes gases ahead, contemplating. Bronze and Marble neoclassical statues dapple the composition. In the distance, a wounded gladiator is surrounded by three figures attending to him as another animal turns towards them.
