Jungle Love Rainbow

Hermes Histoires de Carres > Autumn - Winter 2019

One of Robert Dallet's most famous drawings, Jungle Love, is reinvented here with a colourful treatment that alters our perception of it. The design is over-printed with multi-coloured stripes, like a filter superimposed on this tender scene. Two powerful, sleek leopards approach and observe one another, playing out their courtship ritual under the permanently astonished, round-eyed gaze of a bushbaby nestled among the leaves. Surrounded by orchids, butterflies and birds, paradise flycatchers, bee-eaters, sunbirds and lovebirds, the scene is full of emotion.
