This monumental original oil painting, dated 1999, is a captivating celebration of the exotic, echoing the lush and surreal jungle landscapes of Henri Rousseau. The composition features a regal black panther lounging along the water’s edge, presiding over a pair of stately zebras and a brilliant blue peacock with a sweeping, detailed tail. Set against a serene sunset sky in soft amber and peach tones, the scene is masterfully mirrored in the lily pad-strewn water below. The artist employs a sophisticated illustrative style, utilizing rich pigments and fine brushwork to bring the dense tropical foliage and diverse wildlife to life, offering a unique sense of vibrant tranquility and narrative depth. Housed in a minimalist white frame, this expansive work measures 41.25 inches wide and 49.25 inches tall, making it a commanding focal point for a grand foyer, a maximalist living room, or a tropical-inspired primary suite. It remains in excellent vintage condition, exhibiting minor surface scuffs to the frame and a gentle, age-appropriate patina that confirms its authentic late-20th-century provenance. This singular piece of artwork is a definitive acquisition for collectors of contemporary animalia or designers seeking a bold, organic statement for a curated interior.
