the image is a vintage celestial chart or star map depicting the constellations leo major (larger lion) and leo minor (smaller lion).  the chart is handdrawn or engraved, characteristic of older astronomical illustrations.  it shows the lions in an artistic style, not strictly to scale, and is overlaid with the positions of the stars within their respective constellations. the chart also includes labels for surrounding constellations, such as ursa major, cancer, virgo, hydra, crater, and sextans, indicating its placement within the larger celestial sphere. the style and design suggest an origin from the 18th or 19th century, reflecting the artistic conventions of astronomical illustration of that era.  the overall aesthetic is one of historical scientific and artistic interest.
