Woman With A Lion In The Jungle, 2025

Woman with a Lion in the Jungle

9 × 12 inches

Graphite on paper

This graphite drawing depicts a nude woman standing calmly in a dense jungle, accompanied by a lion at her side. The figures face forward with quiet assurance, neither confronting nor retreating, but simply present within the landscape. The woman’s posture is relaxed and grounded, while the lion appears attentive and composed, reinforcing a sense of coexistence rather than dominance.

Rendered entirely in graphite, the drawing emphasizes texture and rhythm through layered shading and repeated mark-making. The foliage is built from overlapping patterns of leaves and grasses, creating a lush environment that envelops both figures. Subtle tonal shifts model the bodies with softness, allowing the scene to feel intimate and timeless rather than dramatic.

Woman with a Lion in the Jungle belongs to Amalia’s ongoing mythic-animal universe, where women and animals share space as equals, bound by instinct and presence. The work evokes Edenic and folkloric echoes without relying on overt symbolism, offering instead a quiet image of alignment between the human and the animal world. This original, one-of-a-kind drawing will appeal to collectors drawn to figurative draftsmanship, symbolic restraint, and works that convey strength through stillness.
