With a mysterious poetry, the lion visits the gypsy woman and her mandolin in a masterful composition that somehow employs hard lines and flattish perspectives to great advantage. As the quintessential untrained artist, it was the innocence and charm of French painter Rousseau's nave or primative works won him the admiration of the avant-garde. Rousseau was celebrated by Surrealists, including Picasso, for the raw, savage power in his paintings. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. Our imported hardwood frame features delicate, floral details on the borders and is highlighted in antiqued gold tones to enhance this spectacular image.
