This 1829 lithograph, printed by E. Ardit, is one half of Delacroix's largest pair of pendant prints, paired with a companion image of a tiger in a face-off of the kind staged for entertainment since antiquity. It reflects Delacroix's enduring fascination with big cats, which he studied intensively from life at venues such as the Jardin des Plantes menagerie in Paris well before his 1832 trip to North Africa deepened that interest. Rendered with dramatic, muscular energy, it stands among the most celebrated of Delacroix's animal lithographs.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.

It made the sunroom feel finished in a way I could not manage on my own. There is a life to Lion of the Atlas Mountains here that flat reproductions usually kill.
The subject alone sold me and the execution sealed it. It has made me appreciate Lion of the Atlas Mountains more than I already did. The colors are richer and warmer than a screen can show. Perfect from start to finish.
The quality here is well beyond what I paid for it. I bought this for Lion of the Atlas Mountains and got far more than I paid for. 🙂
Appreciate you writing this. If you ever want a recommendation for something to go with it, just send us an email.
It made the powder room feel finished in a way I could not manage on my own. The scale works perfectly for Lion of the Atlas Mountains and nothing feels cramped. It went straight into the powder room and has not moved since. My partner is hard to impress and even he was taken with it.
I’m really pleased with this. The subject of Lion of the Atlas Mountains is what sold me, and it delivers. I would recommend it to a friend.
