About the piece
Painted in 1874 by Frans Verhas, this Belgian genre scene titled 'The Lion' depicts a charming moment of domestic play. A young boy hides beneath a realistic lion-skin rug to surprise his mother and sister, set against a backdrop of rich tapestries and fine furnishings characteristic of the period's academic style.
