The Repast of the Lion is an early 20th century painting by French post-impressionist Henri Rousseau.[1] Done in oil on canvas, the work depicts a feeding lion in a jungle setting. The painting expands upon some of Rousseau's late 19th century work, and the foliage depicted in the painting was inspired by the artist's studying of Paris' botanical gardens.[2] The work is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
