Description

A lion, partially concealed by dense foliage, feasts on its prey amid towering trees and exotic plants. The vegetation, inspired by Rousseau’s studies of Parisian botanical gardens, is lush and vividly detailed, with large yellow flowers and deep green leaves. A full moon rises in the background, casting a soft glow over the tranquil yet primal setting. The painting exemplifies Rousseau’s dreamlike style, blending realism with an almost mystical atmosphere.
