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.
