The Snake Charmer, 169×189 cm, 1907, held at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. This is one of Rousseau's most famous late works. In the summer of 1907, the painter visited the mother of his artist friend Robert Delaunay. The old lady recounted their travels in India to him and commissioned from Rousseau a work depicting an exotic journey to India, titled The Snake Charmer.

In this charming and harmonious primeval forest, the wizard lives among the surrounding animals, near a rather tranquil lake. Lush vegetation and flowers intertwine around him. The poetic wizard plays a flute while handling snakes. Through layered depiction, Rousseau reveals deep spatial depth. A bright moon hangs on the horizon, illuminating the plants and reflecting on the water, creating a captivating charm and displaying unparalleled exotic allure.
