A large, striped tiger lies on rocky ground beneath two flying birds and dark foliage
Detailed Description
The image shows a vertical composition with monochromatic tones. The dominant figure is a large, striped tiger positioned in the lower two-thirds, lying down with its body facing left and its head turned towards the viewer. Its front paws extend forward, with visible claws. The tiger's face features wide eyes, a furrowed brow, and an open mouth revealing sharp teeth and fangs. Its body is covered in dark, wavy stripes, and its long, thick tail curves along the ground to the lower left. Above and to the left of the tiger, a dense, dark mass of foliage or rock extends downwards from the top, appearing as a cliff or a large tree. Two light-colored birds, possibly doves, fly against this dark background, one above the other, with spread wings. Below the tiger, in the lower right, a dark, jagged rocky outcrop rises from the bottom. The background features a lighter, textured wash, suggesting a misty or cloudy atmosphere. In the upper right, there is a vertical inscription of characters.
