Detailed Description
A vertical hanging scroll features a painting of a tiger on a light, neutral-toned background. The tiger occupies the lower half of the painted area, positioned slightly to the right of the center. Its body is angled, with its head turned to face forward and slightly downward, its gaze directed towards the viewer. The tiger's fur is rendered in shades of orange and brown with distinct black stripes, and its underside and muzzle are lighter, almost white. Its eyes are green. Its large paws are visible in the foreground. In the lower right corner of the painted section, black calligraphic characters and a small red square seal are present. The painted area is framed by a wider border of the same light, neutral-toned paper, with a horizontal band of gold-flecked paper above the tiger. The scroll is mounted with light-colored wooden rods at the top and bottom, and a dark hanger is visible at the very top.
