In the foreground, the statue of a lion, one of the two located in the corner of the banister on the north terrace of the Palace on the Isle in Royal Baths Park. The model was executed in 1793 by the royal sculptors: Andre Le Brun with the assistance of Leonardo Galli and formatter Giuseppe Pellegrini.
