Description from the seller
Same white villa, the same blade-like roof, the same palms against the mountain. But this time the pool is occupied: a hippopotamus, submerged three-quarters, leaves only the glistening back, ears and two eyes peering at us. In the foreground, a turquoise-and-white striped towel abandoned on the edge — someone left in a hurry.
Le Yack pushes the series one notch further: after the bear that floats and the cheetah that suns, here is the beast that has taken possession of the water. The animal's gaze is calm, almost benevolent, and that’s what makes the scene funny — it has no intention of leaving. The violet-brown of the wet skin is the only dark tone in a bath of turquoise and white. Vibrant facture: water brushed in short, broken strokes, reflections of the villa breaking on the surface, sky in broad passages of blue. The hippopotamus's skin is worked in moist glazes, with highlights placed in a single gesture. The striped fabric in the foreground provides scale and fixes the gaze.
