About the piece

Painted around 1905, this work is a quintessential example of Henri Rousseau's celebrated jungle series. Known for his naive, dreamlike style, Rousseau creates a rich tapestry of tropical plants and hidden animals. The deep greens of the 'virgin forest' are punctuated by a vibrant red blossom and the striking white plumage of a parrot, offering a sophisticated and moody aesthetic for any wall.
