About the Item

This print titled "Anecdote, Lion & Hottentot" features a dramatic scene in a rocky terrain in Africa. A powerful lion is captured mid-leap, eyes wide with focus and intensity, aiming towards a piece of fur, which appears to be a bait. Below the lion, a man identified as a Hottentot (a term historically used for the Khoikhoi people of southwestern Africa) is depicted in a crouching position. The man is shown wearing minimal clothing, a white cloth around his waist, and he appears to be in a state of readiness, possibly for the lion’s next move. The rocky landscape with scattered vegetation provides a stark backdrop for the intense interaction between the man and the lion. The image is hand-colored, giving it a vivid and lifelike quality.
