This painting was purchased from an individual in London, whose father commissioned the work, and knew David personally.
He had spent a while working in Tanzania, and actually saw this scene one day, with the elephants in the background and a lion resting on the grass.
Tanzania is an East African country known for its vast wilderness areas.
They include the plains of Serengeti National Park, a safari mecca populated by the 'big five' game
(elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino), and Kilimanjaro National Park, home to Africa's highest mountain.
