More about this artwork

In the lush, dreamlike jungle setting of Henri Rousseau’s painting, a reclining woman lies on a red sofa, her gaze seemingly lost in contemplation. She is surrounded by a dense and vibrant thicket of oversized plants and blooms, including large blue flowers and tall, splayed leaves, creating a canopy of greenery. Among the foliage, vivid hues of oranges are visible, suggestive of fruit-bearing trees. A pale, glowing moon illuminates the scene from the upper right corner, casting a soft light over the dense arrangement of flora.In this mysterious jungle tableau, various animals peek out. To the lower right of the woman, two lions with enigmatic expressions lurk amidst the bushes, their eyes intently fixed. A secretive, snake-like creature appears slightly behind the couch, enhancing the sense of an enigmatic, untamed wilderness. Above, fluttering among the branches, vividly colored birds add a sense of life and movement.

Despite never attending a formal art school, Henri Rousseau (1844–1910) is wildly recognized as a self-taught genius, who left a lasting legacy to the avant-garde movement. Rousseau practiced painting and drawing by copying artworks in the art museums of Paris in his spare time. Since he never studied anatomy and perspective at an art school, he developed a unique artistic style known as 'Naive' or 'Primitive'. His paintings are often depicted in a childish or dreamlike manner with their vivid colors, ambiguous spaces, and non-realistic scale. Most of his signature paintings portray wild animals or human figures in the jungle. His artwork was not accepted by the conservative critics so he became a member of the Parisian artistic and literary avant-garde movement where his works extensively influenced several generations of avant-garde artists and surrealists.
