Hi All, finally I got this post up. Please provide your thoughts on the matter below.

Previously I was uncertain when some PuristS and friends thought that the design of the Chopard "Jungle" was inspired by "The Dream" , a painting by Henri Rousseau.

Now after studying the painting, IMO there is proof that the motif is inspired by this famous painting housed in MOMA in New York City.

My previous posts below:

Although the looks of the Lion was not conclusive, the leaves next to the Chopard Lion look like the same type as the ones in the painting right below the Rousseau Lion.

Furthermore, there were two places in the painting that had monkeys hanging from trees.

Based on the comparison photos, do you think that the Chopard Jungle was inspired by "The Dream" ?

Cheers,

Gordon
