I'm surprised no-one's mentioned this yet! A trustworthy Wikipedia excerpt reveals...
"The cover art for the album was a painting by Australian artist Brett-Livingstone Strong which was hanging in Buckingham's home, a homage to the 19th Century French painter Henri Rousseau, emulating his colourful jungle theme works such as The Snake Charmer and The Repast of the Lion."

I didn't realize Lindsey actually owned the painting. I did know it wasn't commissioned for the album, and was sort of an homage to Rousseau. I wonder if Lindsey still has the painting??

I'm sure - along with all the other few hundreds his wife so magnificently grouped together behind the sofa...

Love the painting though.
