About the piece
Painted in 1910, this masterpiece by Henri Rousseau exemplifies his signature 'jungle' series. The composition is a rich tapestry of layered tropical leaves, striking red flora, and delicate lilies. Several monkeys populate the scene, peeking through the dense undergrowth and climbing through branches, creating a whimsical and immersive atmosphere that bridges the gap between reality and fantasy.
