This ethereal portrait, based on a photograph taken on a game ranch in Zimbabwe, depicts a male lion (Panthera leo) at rest, his great mane fanning out around him as he fixes the viewer with a steady, unhurried gaze. Worked entirely in soft whites and greys, the lion emerges from the pale ground as if from mist. Lions are now classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, their range across sub-Saharan Africa having declined significantly due to habitat loss and human conflict.
Available as open edition fine art prints, and stretched or rolled canvases.
