About the piece

Created in 1904, this masterpiece by Henri Rousseau showcases the artist's distinctive 'naive' style and his fascination with exotic jungle environments. The composition depicts scouts in white robes navigating a dense, dark green forest when they are suddenly ambushed by a tiger. The interplay of the dark, layered tropical leaves against the pale light of the moon creates a dreamlike and highly decorative atmosphere characteristic of Rousseau's most celebrated works.
