Leeuw en vijf andere studies van oosterse figuren en dieren 1830 - 1831

"Leeuw en vijf andere studies van oosterse figuren en dieren" (Lion and five other studies of Oriental figures and animals) is a lithograph by Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps, created between 1830 and 1831. The artwork depicts a series of studies of Middle Eastern figures and animals, including a lion, a man in a turban, and a pelican. Decamps was a French artist who travelled to the Middle East in the 1820s, and his artwork often features subjects from this region. This lithograph is a good example of his interest in Orientalism, a style of art that was popular in Europe in the 19th century. This artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
