Lion's Head
Henri Rousseau claimed he survived wild Mexican jungle adventures, but art historians know he actually just visited the Paris zoo and studied stuffed animals! This fierce lion head, rendered in warm browns and golds, bursts from dark foliage with its mouth agape in a silent roar. It showcases the raw, unpolished style of Post-Impressionism that made him a favorite of Picasso, proving you don't need to travel the world to capture its wild spirit.
