French School, The Lion Hunt, Oil Painting on Canvas, early 20th century
This early 20th century French oil on canvas presents a boldly stylised lion hunt, rendered in a striking naive manner. A large lion stands in the foreground, surrounded by hounds and a lone hunter with bow and arrow, while the background opens into a surreal landscape of oversized flowers and a gently rising hill.
The scene is enclosed within a painted frieze of arrows and geometric motifs, echoing the bold stripes and rhythmic patterns that run through the composition. A rich palette of black, terracotta, and deep mahogany browns brings warmth and depth to the scene.
Presented in a stained wood frame with a linen slip, this is a rare and distinctive work. Its confident use of colour and pattern, paired with a vivid sense of narrative, make it a particularly engaging and decorative piece.
