Original Description
Philip Russel Goodwin’s Surprised captivates viewers with its dramatic wildlife realism, portraying a tense moment frozen in time: a startled mountain lion recoiling mid-leap amidst golden grasses. Painted in 1917, Goodwin’s mastery of light and texture—gleaming fur, wind-swept foliage—exemplifies American Sporting Art’s golden age, blending meticulous detail with dynamic energy. His background as an illustrator animates the scene’s narrative urgency, while atmospheric dusk tones evoke untamed wilderness. Though lesser-known than contemporaries like Carl Rungius, Goodwin’s works are prized for their kinetic authenticity, with Surprised epitomizing early 20th-century admiration for nature’s raw power. Today, it resonates as both historical artifact and timeless homage to wildlife’s fleeting drama.
For interior styling, Surprised thrives in spaces balancing rustic elegance and bold contrasts. Hang it in a study or fireplace lounge where warm wood tones amplify its golden hues, or let it anchor a neutral gallery wall beside antique brass accents. Opt for a medium-large frame (24”x36”+)—its intricate details demand proximity—in a distressed gilt or walnut finish to harmonize with organic textures like leather or woven textiles. Offset the painting’s intensity with muted olive or taupe walls, allowing its amber spotlight to glow. In offices, pair it with industrial elements (exposed brick, black steel) for rugged sophistication, or place it opposite modern-minimalist furniture to create striking tension between wild dynamism and curated calm.
