Lion and Leopard portrays an event previously unexplored in fiction: the mysterious death of John Lewis Krimmel, one of the first artists to capture scenes of urban street life in America. Showing the rise and tragic fall of Krimmel through the eyes of multiple characters, Popkin imagines the chaotic time at the end of Krimmel’s life when he clashed with portraitist Charles Willson Peale and his sons, the gatekeepers of Philadelphia’s budding art scene in the early 1800s.
