Tiger

This painting shows a tiger lying on the ground. The tiger's body is stretched out, facing the left. Its eyes are closed, and its head is resting on its paws. Its fur is painted in a rich orange with black stripes and areas of white on its face, chest, and legs. In the background, there are soft, gray-blue mountain ranges under a light blue sky. The ground the tiger lies on is an olive-green color, with sections of tan earth. The painting has fluid and loose brushstrokes.
