An imagined world of leaves and animals

The Dream places a reclining figure on a sofa within a thick growth of leaves, flowers and animals. The unexpected combination gives the scene its imaginative character. Other jungle works vary the scale of the plants and the way creatures emerge from them, rewarding attention to the whole arrangement as well as individual details.

Weather and movement in the jungle

Tiger in a Tropical Storm introduces driving rain and a crouching tiger among bent vegetation. Its diagonals offer a more restless counterpart to the stillness of The Dream. Browse wildlife prints for further animals pictured within their surroundings.

Riverside views and everyday settings

The Banks of the Oise turns to grazing cattle, orderly trees and open ground. The collection also includes canals, factories, portraits and views around Paris. These subjects show the same interest in distinct silhouettes and clearly arranged space without the jungle’s extraordinary setting.
