There is a painting by Pauline Baynes that graced the leading of the paperback version of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" for years in Great Britain. (This cover wasn't entirely on American editions until recently. See picture.) The scene is simply after Aslan is resurrected and Lucy and Susan are dancing with him.

This passage in "The Lion" (close to the end of Chapter 15) is reminiscent with the New Testament account of the resurrection, and various events within the life of Jesus Christ. The loud cracking from the Stone Table is similar to the earthquake and splitting with the Veil inside Temple. After realizing Aslan is real, Lucy and Susan 'flung themselves upon him and covered him with kisses.'  In Luke 17 women anoints Christ's feet and keeps kissing His feet. On Easter morning, Mary clings to Jesus when she realizes He is not just the gardener. (John 20:17 NKJV, NASB)
