1897

From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Le Repas du lion is a 1897 by French 19th Century, a Impressionism work, depicting Lion, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a lion at a table with a dead bird. The lion sits straight in a chair. A knife and fork stick out of the bird on the plate. The artist used a rare red collotype ink. That gives the scene a warm, print-like glow. You can almost feel the weight of the meal. If you like this, check out prints at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
This sculptor liked to keep sharp tools in the studio and blunt ones in his pocket—his niece recalled finding him absentmindedly whittling a stick while talking philosophy.
