Detailed Description
This rectangular painting depicts a scene of two warriors on horseback attacking a large tiger. The central focus is the orange and black striped tiger, positioned horizontally across the lower middle, with red marks on its body. Its head faces left, mouth open, and a sword is plunged into its neck. To the left, a warrior with light skin, a mustache, and a blue turban rides a blue horse. He wears a red and yellow striped tunic and holds a curved sword, which is piercing the tiger. The blue horse rears slightly, its front legs lifted. To the right, a blue-skinned warrior with a blue turban and a red tunic rides a white horse adorned with black patterns. This warrior holds a long spear pointed downwards towards the tiger and a round black shield with yellow circular patterns. The white horse's front legs are also lifted. Below the tiger, on the light ground, a white ram with red marks on its neck and a small brown dog-like animal with red marks are visible. The background features several green leafy trees with light brown trunks against a light beige sky. A solid blue band forms the very bottom of the image. The entire scene is framed by a thin, dark red border.
