Medium: Mixed media on paperDate: 1905Signature: Henri Rousseau (lower right)The original oil painting is housed at the Barnes Foundation, Merion, Pennsylvania, USA.This painting is one of the major works in Rousseau’s Jungle series, embodying his romantic vision of exoticism. He never travelled to the tropics; his jungle scenes sprang entirely from imagination and observations made at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. By juxtaposing familiar European costumes with unfamiliar tropical landscapes, he created a surreal and captivating visual experience, which profoundly influenced the later Surrealist movement.Accompanied by COA certificate.
