About the piece

Painted around 1850 by the French Romantic master Eugène Delacroix, this work captures the visceral intensity of the natural world. The composition features a lion in a rugged, atmospheric setting, rendered with the artist's characteristic energetic brushwork and sophisticated tonal contrasts. This animal study reflects the 19th-century fascination with the power and drama of the wild.
