Resting Lion 2008

"Resting Lion" is a 2008 work by American artist LeRoy Neiman (1921-2012). This painting exemplifies Neiman's signature style of bold colors and dynamic brushstrokes. The lion is depicted in a relaxed pose, its muscular form highlighted by the vibrant yellow and gold tones. Neiman's loose, expressive brushwork captures the animal's powerful presence, while the abstract background suggests the wild beauty of its natural habitat. The artwork is a testament to Neiman's ability to capture the essence of his subjects with striking energy and vivid color.
