The Lion and the Basin at Jas de Bouffan — Fine Art

A lion rests in the basin at Jas de Bouffan, painted by Paul Cézanne as part of the post impressionist scene at that country place. Broad colour patches shape the ground and the animal, while the open area beside it keeps the picture quiet.

This fine art print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back for a nail or screw. No separate frame is needed. The matte surface lets the separate brush marks stay soft, so the basin and the lion read without shine under bright light.

On the end wall of a study, the blocky ground and the resting animal hold the room at a distance. From the desk you see the solid shapes, and the quiet space next to them keeps the view simple.
