The Lion Hunter 

Henri Rousseau's "The Lion Hunter" is a captivating example of the artist's signature "naive" style. The work depicts a hunter in a dense jungle, firing at a lion that is about to pounce. Rousseau's bold use of color and flat, unrealistic forms create a dreamlike atmosphere, highlighting the stark contrast between the hunter and the wild, exotic scene. The work is a prime example of the artist's ability to capture the essence of nature through a simplified, childlike perspective.
