Tiger in the Jungle (Tigre dans les jungles)

Französische Grafik 1891–1893, 1893

The artwork is a vertical print depicting a stylized tiger in a jungle setting. The tiger is centrally positioned, with its body curved and elongated. Its stripes are bold and black, contrasting against the lighter yellow background. Surrounding the tiger are intricate, swirling patterns of foliage and trees, rendered in a similar black outline style. The detailed vegetation frames the tiger and fills the space with fluid, organic shapes. The composition uses a limited color palette of black and yellow to emphasize the graphic quality of the design.
