In honor of Leo season, here’s French artist Rosa Bonheur’s painting Crouching Lion, 1872, currently on view at Orlando Museum of Art.

From the museum’s information plaque-

Rosa Bonheur specialized in animal subject matter and was one of only a few women in the 19th century to achieve international success as an artist. She painted large-scale and complex compositions that were regularly exhibited in the prestigious Salon-the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts.

Bonheur did many versions of lions at rest, alone or in groups. A number of these compositions were reproduced in popular engravings that helped give her work a large international audience.
