Oil on paper. Featuring lion and animal playing scene. Signed and attr. Eugene Delacroix (French 1798-1863). Signature on lower right corner. stamped on verso. 7.5 x 9.8 inch (19 x 25 cm). Delacroix is widely regarded as the leader of the Romantic movement in 19th-century French art. His life and work embodied the movement's concern for emotion, exoticism, and the sublime, and his painting style - full of lush, agitated brushwork and pulsating with vivid color - was in direct contrast to the cool and controlled delineation of his peer and rival, Ingres.
