— Очень понравилось! Только львы грустные, наверное хотят, чтобы их отреставрировали. Ощущение, что с 1915 года их только подкрашивали...

Да, очень старые, усталые львы. Не страшные. Наверное от многочисленных слоев краски, отекающих книзу, с ними произошло то же, что и с живыми львами с годами происходит: мышцы, кожа оттягиваются к низу. Памятники стареют как живые существа.
