Brief Description
Horizontal drawing of tigers pursuing deer through dense grass and rolling hills
Detailed Description
The artwork is a horizontal, monochromatic drawing depicting multiple animals in a landscape. Dense, tall vegetation, resembling grass or reeds, covers most of the ground. On the far left, a large tiger is positioned low with its head turned towards the right. Above it, another tiger is partially obscured by vegetation. To the right, a deer with prominent antlers runs through the tall grass. Further right, a large, recumbent animal, possibly a boar or another deer, is partially visible amidst the foliage. In the central section, the terrain rises into gentle mounds. A small animal, possibly a young deer or a hare, runs over one of these mounds. Above it, another tiger is shown in mid-leap or running through the upper part of the vegetation. Towards the right side of the drawing, more tigers are visible. One tiger is depicted leaping downwards from a higher point, its body stretched. Below it, another tiger is low to the ground. Scattered throughout the scene are various types of vegetation, including some with distinct, feathery leaves, and others represented by simple vertical strokes. The drawing is executed with fine lines, suggesting pencil or ink on paper.
