Detailed Description
A large, dark-striped tiger is depicted against a muted brown background. The tiger occupies the central portion of the image, shown in a crouching pose with its body angled slightly to the right. Its head faces forward, with wide, light-colored eyes and an open mouth revealing teeth. Dark, horizontal stripes cover its body, which is rendered in shades of dark gray and black. Its long, striped tail curls upwards and then extends to the right. Above the tiger's back, a branch with dark pine needles extends from the upper left. Below the tiger's front paws, a few dark, jagged rocks and clumps of thin, green-black plants are visible. The main image area is framed by decorative borders at the top and bottom, featuring a repeating pattern of light-colored flowers and leaves on a dark blue background. The overall palette is subdued, with the tiger and foliage rendered in dark tones against the lighter background.
