The lion is stunned by the audacity of the mouse.
This has been compared to the Aesops fable, of the mouse who removed a thorn from the lion's paw, but I didn't have this in mind when it was painted.
I sort of like the idea that the mouse is an angel, and has come for the old lion. I did think of adding wings, but the white didn't show up too well, so I left them out.
The story behind this can be whatever you want it to be really. Make up your own story.
