I just won an A2 painting of my choice, so naturally I decided I want a portrait of myself looking very important, and also with an African lion by my side.
I was sure I can't have been the first one to consider something like this, but I can't find a single example of a portrait of someone posing with an African lion.
If any of you guys know of one, can you please post it here? Or even with any other animal, really.
I think a portrait similar to this George Stubbs piece will be more eye catching, though of course you should have the artist pain you in place of the horse, on all fours, wide eyed with anguish.
Perhaps having either you or the lion smoking a cheroot.
If you really want to look important you should have the portrait of yourself sitting atop a lion whilst one hand rests on an a globe and the other holds aloft a mighty sabre.
