Detailed Description
A large tiger lies on a warm, light brown ground, occupying the right half of the composition. Its body is angled slightly to the left, with its head raised and facing forward. Its mouth is slightly open, revealing teeth. The tiger's fur features dark brown or black stripes over a lighter tan or cream base, showing muscular definition. Its eyes are dark. Large paws are visible in the foreground, and its tail curls around its hindquarters. To the left, a waterfall cascades down dark, jagged rock formations. The landscape between the waterfall and the tiger consists of rolling, misty hills or rocky terrain that blend into the background. A small vertical inscription in dark characters is visible on the far right.
