The sleeping Gypsy - Henri Rousseau
Amazing to see a lion in a desert setting, isn't it? This naive painting, imagined by Henri Rousseau, does not lack disturbing elements. A lion, with exaggeratedly wide eyes, occupies the central place of the painting and comes to sniff a lying gypsy woman, with confusing pink hair. The moon, wearing a human face, seems to contemplate the scene while sprinkling the work with delicate reflections. This soft nocturnal luminosity gives the painting a poetic dreamlike atmosphere.
