Mini Mug Surprised! Rousseau

Dimensions: 8cm x 7cm D

£10.00

Surprised! By Henri Rousseau

Made from fine bone china, these mini mugs are masterpieces – Literally! Using paintings from The National Gallery’s collection, Whitbread Wilkinson have married traditional art with functional design and, thankfully, the honeymoon period continues. The mugs also feature a coloured stripe inspired by a detail of the painting.
Whether Henri Rousseau was inspired by the jungles of Mexico or the botanical gardens of Paris is irrelevant, his painting ‘Surprised!’ is a fantastic depiction of a tiger hunting explorers. First exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in 1891, the figure of the tiger may have been based on a Delacroix print.
