This work is on display in the exhibition Henri Rousseau: A Painter's Secrets in the Barnes Foundation's Roberts Gallery, October 19, 2025 through February 22, 2026 and at the Musée de l'Orangerie, March 24-July 20, 2026. Self-taught artist Henri Rousseau created his enormous jungle scenes by studying the plants and taxidermy animals in Paris's natural history museums. Painted at the height of the colonial period, such works were popular with Parisian audiences for their theatrical presentation of France's faraway territories as exotic and violent.
